“Fraxel for Acne Scars Caused Redness”
Not Worth It
Spent: $2,500 in Australia, Sydney
I had fraxel laser for my acne scarring 6 weeks ago on both my cheeks. It was very painful and the redness is still really bad.
The doctor had somehow worked on 'a line' on the left side of my face. So now my left side looks like I had on a goggle while swimming- you sort of see the left cheek with clear demarkation of where the redness start. While on my right - the redness was more 'evenly spread'. I am so depressed.
I have been told the redness will go away, but right now I have both cheeks very red with one side redness starts with a very clear line. What can I do?

I went back to see the doctor about the uneven redness and he prescribed a cream and then brushed the issue off as it is something that can't be helped.
