Skin Discolored One Year After Fraxel Restore
asked 5 months ago by clonakitty in california

Tags: discoloration, 1 year post-op
I had fraxel restore treatment about a year ago with a well respected physician. I've noticed that my skin is more ruddy/pinkish than it was previously. I have lines of demarcation as well, which are hard to cover with makeup. My question is what can I do to resolve the ruddiness and demarcation lines? Will this eventually go away on its own, or is my skin discoloration permanent? I don't go out in the sun and keep myself covered as much as possible.

If your skin is not too dark or have had minimal sun exposure, you may respond to a VBEAM or IPL procedure. Otherwise, the skin is still healing and the outer keratin layer of the skin is still thin.
