Will new scars from laser treatment fade?
Severe scarring post Active FX laser - PLEASE HELP!
I am nearly 8 weeks post-op from the Lumenis Active FX/Deep FX laser on my face. I have 'pock' marks and divets all over the lower 1/2 of my face. The doctor says these will 'fade' but it is incredibly severe. Please help me. Should I seek a second opinion? I had NO scars going in and my face is now 100% worse than before the surgery. Please help!

Lauri Any updates?? Since my post on realself I have women from all over the country contacting me...We are all working together in our state to find treatments to fix the damage.... Contact me we are sharing what we learn to help each other.... You have a doctor close to you doctor Law who does fat grafting...Check out his website...I know he has fixed laser damage with micro fat grafting.. The fat has a positive effect on your skin because of the stem cells... I believe this laser goes deeper and can actually damage stem cells ect causing the acne looking scarring and accelarated skin aging hyper pigmentation ect more wrinkles damage ect.... Contact me so we can all share treatment options we have learned about... Walker942@cox.net
