I was recently advised to have either a 1927 Fraxel Dual laser treatment at 5mJ or a Clear & Brilliant laser treatment at the Permea setting, which is also the 1927 wavelength. What is the difference between these two specific treatments? Is Fraxel Dual 1927 at 5mJ equivalent to Clear & Brilliant Permea? Or is the 1927 Fraxel Dual at 5mJ more effective/stronger than Clear & Brilliant Permea? I want a treatment that will give more noticeable results but must be cautious with my sensitive skin.
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!
My dermatologist prescribed tretinoid 0,1% + vitamin B , and vitamin C in AM. I noticed that after a month of using it, my skin is darker, my spots more pronounce and I have been burned on the side of my cheeks, on the line of my mouth. I have stopped since the treatment burned my skin, I have called my doctor Dermatologist but she is not returning my calls!. What can I do to get rid of the burn side effects? Do they go away? I heard of picosure lasser but I am afraid of the side effects.
I did fraxel all over my body basically for stretch marks two months ago and it's still there ( laser scar ) like a huge rectangle on my thighs . I didn't use retin A after the treatment because my doctor didn't tell me and now I'm gonna start using it tomorrow. But I'm really worried it will never go away. I have a very sensitive skin that heals slow.
I seem to have developed an allergy to my face wash that I've been using for months. Suddenly after my fraxel dual procedure I cannot use it, I get small red bumps all over my face. This was the only face wash that worked for my acne/dry skin before the procedure which was 4 weeks ago. What should I do? Is this just my skin being extra sensitive after the procedure? How long until it goes back to normal?
Active sun lover,do hot yoga, etc. No hx of melasma in family & had non-sensitive skin b4. Had acne scars & a pigment spot (1 round on R cheek)show up after aggressive peel and going to hot yoga too soon. Got Fraxel dual 1 mo later. Hid from light for 3 mos,then outside with 50+zinc & hat most of time after.At 4 mos post, suddenly both cheeks and nose have spots of hyper&hypo pigment. Whats the chance this is PIH from fraxel? Can these tx's CAUSE melasma to come out? Skin is hyper-sensitive now
