“Hate the Results - Hyperpigmentation”

Not Worth It
Spent: $4,000 in New York City

I gave birth to two kids so I could take the pain and couple of days of downtime. The procedure ruined my face. I have always had "GOOD SKIN". I did fraxel to improve the overall tone and evenness (had a couple of sun/age spots). Everything went according to plan and after the 4th treatment my skin looked pretty good. 2 weeks later I started getting what appears to be freckles all over my face. I developed horrible hyperpigmentation. I now wake up every morning to see how many more brown spots have arrived. Its like the measles. Don't do it!!!!!

Hi, When did you have your last treatment? I was told that it takes a full 3 months for the real results to show. I myself had only my eyes done 3 weeks ago and the redness is terrible. The puffiness and swelling is still bad as well. I am hanging in there. I see you had your treatment in NYC. I am from CO but flew in to have {edited} do mine. He is said to be the laser "guru" and specializes in fraxel. You should google him. Maybe you could see him for answers. He and his staff are wonderful.
