Side Effects from Deep FX
I requested a Total FX treatment consisting of Deep FX and Active FX. I wanted an overall Deep FX treatment, but the doctor insisted on using Deep FX only on my "trouble areas", so I gave in to his direction. He then did an overall treatment of Active FX. Later, after the procedure when I got home, I saw the clearly defined large burnt dots on my throat which don't look like any Deep FX treatment I have ever seen. Is it possible that the doctor used the regular CO2 laser to burn the large dots on my throat instead of Deep FX? Will these burns take a while to heal, and will there be any scarring? Could I get an expert's opinion on this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Looks Like a Burn
Thank you for the photo. It does look like a burn. In essence, we are intentionally burning the skin with both the Deep and Active FX lasers. Based on the photos, it seems like the treatment was a bit more aggressive than your skin could tolerate. Hopefully you will have already seen the doctor who administered the treatment. There are burn creams that can be used. Aloe from the plant is beneficial again. Hard to tell in terms of long term scarring...
