This condition has been persistent for three years... It gets better and then seems to break out overnight...any suggestions and will Fraxel make it worse? I take Oracea 40 mg daily and use Metronidazole gel on my face.

Fraxel® laser can thicken the under eye skin, so if your under eye darkness is because the skin is thinning and the under eye dark blood vessels are showing through, then Fraxel® should help. Depending on your individual eye area, the number and frequency of maintenance treatments.
Thank you for your question. It would be best to pre treat with Valtrex or Lysine to prevent any breakout. Sometimes heat or stress can trigger cold sore breakout. I hope this helps!
Fractional treatment will help, but likely not eliminate a vertical scar on the forehead. Our office specializes in scar revision procedures and our recommendation would be to seek a scar specialist and have your child undergo an examination before committing to a treatment. Best, Dr....
