ORIGINAL POST
Had erbium and fraxel laser on my skin 8 months...
Had erbium and fraxel laser on my skin 8 months ago and now have several black bumpy marks under my skin which are not going away with hydroquinone or anything else. I tried to prick the blood vessels with a sterilized needle to get rid of them but not much luck. I have hyperpigmentation as well on my face and my neck. It's a mess. The doctor wants to zap the raised blood vessels individually but I am scared to let him. The Erbium laser and the Fraxel have done enough damage to my skin. I have a light complexion so they are very noticeable. I'm very very upset about them. Has anyone had these black bumpy raised blood vessels after a laser procedure.

I haven't heard of this, but as someone who got a really bad result from IPL, I can sympathize. I recommend getting a consultation/2nd opinion from another dr. who does the same procedures, and make sure it's someone in a different office.

Oh wow, first time I have ever heard of this situation. I don't blame you for being scared! I am glad you are being cautious, feel free to ask a doctor here on the site to see what they have to say.
Do you have any photos to share with us?

Hi are you talking about these really tiny micro-sized black dots? I got them too - I had the Non-ablative Erbium glass 1540 Palomar laser, just one pass (I have to go for another three). They started to surface a day after.
They are currently not bumpy but they are there - only if you look closely. I will update as time goes on (I expect to finish my course of laser by February next year).
How are yours at the moment?

Yes, I had the same thing and I have been taking the roacutane after. I had a lot of attention then makes acne scars and key step buttons. Use if you can the roller, it is effective also associated with TCA peel

Re my above comment, I think it's at a website called ***Removed 3rd party link***
So sorry that you didn't have a good experience, have you seen any improvement since your last update?
