Im a 24 year old girl from germany.I made my first fraxel treatment in oktober 2011 ,and then in February,march,and July.I hade all my life problems with my skin .light acne.and in July 2011 I had an allergic reaction on my cheeks .I was in hollyday and my facecream didn't liked the sun.after this I had big painful breakouts.

after 3 months I hade scarring.but when I think now it was no big deal.but i have the strong feeling I made a mistake.I did fraxel.the dr. Said me fraxel is new no risk wonderful skinresults and and and.she didnt told me even about complications.she is a famous dr.in germany and have a lot of experience.and I trusted.I made 4 treatments.and my last treatment was 2-3 months ago.my skintexture changed.I can't describe this.but it is not soft.and when I go in the right light I can see the difference.I can see where I was fraxeled.and my skin is not smooth.it looks somehow old and dry.and after the last treatment it peel.I stopped to use peeling and do nothing anymore to my skin.because I'm hoping my skin make selfhealing maybe.I just use UVB/UVA 50+every day and bb cream .

I'm really scared.I'm 24 years old.and I'm shocked .I try to think positive ,because I know stress is the worst for the skin.I just want know.can my skin heal?I mean I'm young and have much power.is this possible? I've read much in this community ,and I'm really schocked.how they can make this ?and we payed so much money!I'm scared my skin change maybe more worse.please.can anybody say me what to do?I want my old skin back.but this is impossible.and I don't trust any doctors anymore.they just interest in money.I hate this kind of human.I'm really depressed and mad.

Jeanne.....please have hope!! Just because there are bad stories on here does NOT mean they will happen to you!! You are right not to stress. Get plenty of sleep and eat well. Lots of antioxidant foods!! Most see improvement by the 6 months and even a few at a year. Sadly, people do not come back and update their reviews. Think positive thoughts!! Hugs!!

Nothing is better 2015

Nothing is better. Nothing changed. My skin is hyper sensitive now and looks really bad. Like an Orange. I would never go out without make up or powder. This was the worst decision in my life. But i dont think about it too much anymore, life goes on. And this situation is really so stressful. I dont trust no doctors anymore they just want money and nothing else. The damage skin is like burned or something. And this condition cant be changed. Its better to accept this and not to try something that could maybe make the situation more worse.
i must upload some pictures.

I'm so sorry you went thru this! I had a bad laser situation too. The laser melted my fatpads and left my face old and dry. (2 years ago) I'm experimenting with diff treatments to see what can fix my texture and lines. I don't have any answers and will most likely have a face lift to fix part of the problem, but you aren't alone. There are forums for laser and ipl damage and many people have success with different kinds of natural remedies.

Can you upload a picture of your skin texture? I've read many stories about the "orange peel" effect but have not seen any images of it. I'm so sorry for this to happen to you. I also distrust dermatologists in particular, but because I'm distressed over marks on my face, I have an appointment this week with one. I'm considering a kind of laser treatment and concerned about the side effects. I appreciate your resilience and positive attitude in spite of that doctor failing at her job.

Fraxel laser causes a controlled wound in order to heal from this wound you should have used coper peptide serum or a regnitive serum with stem cells. I hade laser done 1 year ago and at first was having all sorts of problems. Then I learned that my skin barrier was damaged and had to heal that in order for my skin to improve. Don't give up on your skin see a esthetician not a dermatologist and they will guide you on what products to use and will help repair your skin.
