How Can I Get Rid of Grid-like Patterns Imprinted on my Skin After Laser Treatments?

Had TotalFX in Feb.Very happy.Had AFT/IPL in May and walked out shockingly red.Swollen for about 8 days.When brown spots came off there were some scars.First noticed orange peel appearance while swollen from a Fat Transfer I had a few weeks later.As FT swelling subsided I started to see grid-like patterns on my face. Is it possible to see a delayed reaction from TotalFX, or can I assume it was the aggressive AFT? Any recommendations to fix this?DeepFX? eMatrix?

I would recommend that you keep the areas protected from sun exposure, so use a good sunscreen. I would encourage you to wait at least 6 months to heal. Please follow-up with your physician.

You have had a lot done so it is hard to know what caused changes. Thus, I recommend you avoid any new procedures, use sunscreen, and allow yourself time to heal. A good 6-8 month time to heal will do you good.
