Question

Bumps after Pixel Laser to tighten skin?

I'm a 40 year old female and have had 1 in a course of 3 pixel treatments for skin laxity. Everything was fine up until 4 weeks after treatment. Now my once smooth skin is covered in hundreds of noticeable bumps. My questions are: 1. Will more treatments help or make the bumps even more pronounced? 2. How can I get rid of them? 3. Is this normal after Pixel and should I have been informed that the collagen the Pixel stimulates would form bumps? I'm obviously upset and depressed about this so any help/advice would be gratefully received. H x

I have had this same problem. It's been nearly a year with no change. I wish I knew what to do. I'm trying retinol cream now.

Wondering how your skin is doing? I am having a similar experience after two treatments. Did you have any underlying scar tissue that you noticed prior to treatments? M

No. I just thought I had touchy skin. I got something similar after botox. I'm going back as they said they could give me a cream from a compounding pharmacy. I'll let you know how that turns out. SJW
