19 Oct 2010

I did the Fraxel SR750 four years ago and it spread my melasma all over my face and added PIH. After 4 years of unsuccessfully trying to fix the damage, I feel permanently scarred and disfigured and I filed a lawsuit against them.

Great review?

Contact MCast! I think she can tell you what she used to see improvement!!

I know in the Keys it is summer all year round but things will get better now that fall is approaching. Don't use HQ - it has a horrible rebound effect.

Brit: Can you link her to MCast as well?

KB: What ethnicity are you? Is your entire face darker with PIH or do you have melasma areas?

I am German/Irish so fairly light. I am four months from Fraxel....I have texture/pore issues but am worried about sun exposure as I also have PIH.

I am sorry for your experience.

I am latin and my skin is medium tone. I tan extremely dark. The doctors who have seen me for the pigmentation describe it as PIH from the Fraxel.

Hi Britt:

Unfortunately the devastating effect of the procedure is not reversible. Many doctors have tried unsuccessfully to resolve it. A lot of HQ and Retin A. It lightens up only to darken and spread. The doctors do not have an answer for me.

I will keep everyone updated.

I was looking through our Fraxel reviews you might want to check this one out from loris15 . Sounds like she might be able to sympathize. Yes please keep us updated.

Feel better,

Hello Key Biscayne,

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you. What did the doctor say about the melasma spreading? Please keep me updated.

Thanks,
