I'm a young female who had a horrible experience with Retin-A. Others tell me it's not possible, but I assure you it is, because it happened to me. I put Retin-A on my face, chest, and neck at night, as I started breaking out there. The next morning, I woke up and saw wrinkles on my chest and neck. I know these were not there before. It has been two months, but they're still there, and they seem to be permanent. I called a laser center where I live and asked if anything could help, and I was told that Fraxel Repair would, although I may need more than one treatment. Is this true?
Fraxel repair will tighten skin and smooth out crepey fine lines or wrinkles. Typically only one treatment is necessary, though. Fraxel restore requires multiple treatments and is less likely to tighten the skin than the repair.
Best of luck,
