Hello, I did TCA CROSS about 5 days ago and now I have bunch of brownish scabs all over my face. They haven't fallen out yet and I'm planning to do CO2 fraxel tomorrow. should I wait until those scabs are all falling off and do CO2 fraxel or is it okay to do it even when there are scabs on my face? Thank you very much. P.S: I first thought those brownish scabs were some kind of hyperpigmentation but later I found out it was scabs. Does scabs after TCA CROSS usually looks like brownish spots?
I did fraxel repair for my acne scars 2 days ago. Exactly 22/11/2016. When I woke up today and when looked into the mirror. The scab was partially gone. After that in the afternoon I jus touched it and the remaing scab flakes off. I am really worried that it is really red and that part is little pitted now.. Its like a small vacant place there. I want to know that does this will improve? Before it was flat. It became a little hole like in my face. I am really worried.. Need ur help
I had my second fraxel and I am on my 4th day, upon bathing, some of the scabs are washed off. When I checked the mirror, I got little worried with one particular scab because the pinkness underneath looks fresh and fleshy. Is it normal? will it develop to scar? Im a bit scared.
I had a Fraxel (dual I think) patch test done 4 days ago. See photo of my wrist. It's hundreds of little scabs, and bigger ones where there's an overlap. I can't imagine doing this to my face. Is that normal recovery? I had Fraxel done 8 years ago, and I never experienced a scab/ crust like surface such as this.
If the skin looks good once scab comes off, is this a good indicator that my other spots will have same result? I'm just concerned about PIH after. So if this spot doesn't have PIH will the rest not have PIH either???
Are scab like dots normal after fraxel dual? I had fraxel dual, im not sure which one of the wavelengths was used but i have small scab dots from where the laser hit. I looked all over the internet and i cant find anything about this. After reading about what to expect after the procedure, it says nothing about this.. I am a light brown skin color probably fitzpatrick 4. They are slowly falling off, but is this normal? Will it cause the skin to get worse? Was something done wrong?
Is it possible to do fraxel restore on isolated area on the scar itself instead of whole right cheek to blend it in? because that is what the physician did when i had a fraxel restore for my indented scar 2 months ago. Ive had minor blistering, crusting/scabbing during the recovery process and did not expect such long recovery time. I Have sensitive skin and im afraid the intensity treated the other area just to blend can cause damage as my main concern is the indented scar.
