Ive had this scar since I was 8 years old and am now 30. Ive hidden it with my hair and its caused me anxiety my whole life. Im finally ready to do something about it. Ive had 3 fraxel laser treatments and it hasnt improved at all. What would you recommend? Im looking into scar revision. What kind of improvement is possible?
I am worried my dermatologist was to aggressive he said the redness was normal but its been a month, i have a follow up in two weeks i am worried the marks will not go away i have not found anyone online with red marks a month after :( both the microneedling with prp and fraxel co2 laser was done in one day together.
Hello I am desperately searching for any help. My face is highly scared after fraxel restore. I am left with huge pores everywhere. No moisture. I look like I have suffered from severe acne my whole life which is not the case. My skin is super aged and wrinkly. I lost all my volume. I dont even look like the same person. What can I do.
I am 37 and very fair skinned. I have a lot of pink/red scarring from pimples I've had over the past couple of years and I have bad wrinkes under my eyes that I would like to fix. I am considering having fraxel and have been told that one session should greatly reduce the scarring and also the wrinkles- is this correct? Are there any risks? My skin is quite sensitive/delicate. Thank you!
I want to have fraxel (2 or 3 sessions) to even out my skin tone, minimize wrinkles, pores, small scars, age spots, but I also need injectable fillers like restylane, radiesse, juvederm in my nasolabial folds, cheekbones, under my eyes. My question is what should I do first. If I have fillers and botox first and then fraxel laser, is there a risk that the fraxel laser will destroy the fillers? How many weeks should I wait between fillers, botox and fraxel? Thanks a lot, I read conflicting info
Just finished my 2nd course of Accutane over a year ago. My scarring is what now bothers me. (People say it isnt all that bad) but to me it does. A dermatologist recently told me Fraxel would be the better option. Who can perform Fraxel? Can it make your skin worse? A spa nearby who does my juvederm does this but im very unsure if i should trust them. Please help as my long journey of fighting acne is slowly ending but now the scars are left.
I had my second treatment with the 1550 Fraxel laser two weeks ago. I had a tanned look and more significant flaking/peeling than first round. All looked great after a week, but then I got an itchy, rough feeling with redness. Patches of itchy rash are showing on my chin, nose, above my lips, and cheeks. They seem to be small fluid filled blisters and involve all of my face except my forehead. Some are larger than others. I have been taking Benadryl. I'm worried about scarring. Can you advise me?
I got the staples out of my head and the wound healed up good but the bad news is The scar is horrible. the Dr. did a horrendous job closing the wound. the back part of my scalp overlaps the front instead of being flat. Can my scar be fixed. its causing me a great deal of stress. Thanks excised or revised in order to make flat and not indented? im losing my hair and all I want to do is be able to shave my head. i know i cant get rid of the scar but i just want to
