Not Worth It

Bad bad results. I had erbium and also profractional laser resurfacing. My Doctor had the laser to hot it literaly melted my skin. I have a huge dent in my cheek, and volume loss all over. It ruined the texture of my skin. Do not do it!!
Updated on 10 Jan 2012:
I was just curious if anyone has found any new treatments to restore volume loss. Thanks.

Hi Peoria,
Oh my I'm so sorry that happened to you. What did your doctor say, are they going to fix it? Please keep me updated.
You should also check out this forum discussion. This group of ladies went/still are going through the same thing you are, they might be able to lend support or at least provide someone to talk to. Hope that helps.

Hi Fighting,
Much like I recommended to Peoria, have you chatted in the forum at all? You are super active and I think could help a lot of the community. Keep me posted.
Thanks,

I had both the erbium and the fractional laser on the same day, it was supposed to yield a better result combining them.
Thanks for the advice i will check this forum out. :)
Yes please do, I think you will find a lot of support and info in there. Please keep me updated. Thanks,

Have you had any improvement with it filling in? What about your texture? I would love to do something but I am paralyzed by fear of making it worse!!
Dr. Mark Glasgold in New Jersey acknowledges laser damage and has helped others with damage. I have not had any experience with him but hope to consult with him in the spring.
I hae only tried juvederm and it has helped a bit and this device called nuface it is supposed to deliver electromicrocurrent waves to tighten and tone the skin, i have seeen a litle improvement but nothing to rave about. I hae debated radieese, i guess it is a better filler for volume loss but it cannot be taken out if it is injected wrong where as juvederm can. There is alos sculptra that i may try, i just dont have alot of money to being getting fillers all the time. I would just love a midface lift, but i am 30 and my husband thinks its crazy. How about you? Have you found anything that helps?
