My skin is still extremely DRY..however in good news my itchy neck wasn't due to dry skin but a persistent fungal infection that was caused by the fraxel. I am still dealing with it and put anti fungal cream on every day. My neck feels much better. My face however hasn't been so lucky. I am still dealing with persistent dry and rough skin on my chin area...now I'm using coconut oil, as well as multiple applications of vaseline or other oil based moisturizer...which I apply throughout the day. My oily skin, which kept me wrinkle free is forever gone...stay away from fraxel

I have developed small horizontal lines up and down the jaw area near my chin. I have been treating it with filler. Cheek deflation runs in my family, but no one has these strange lines superficial lines on the sides of their chins. My chin and neck areas are still dry.

That is strange about the lines. Do you feel it is because of the dryness?
I have no idea. All I know is prior to this treatment I had not one line on my face, and now I'm dealing with about 6-7 ones on the sides of my chin. I was told it is due to aging, but I find it strange that problems only occurred after treatment. And yes, my chin is still dry and itchy. I think that my skin problems are 100% affected by fraxel.
Do you feel the lines are from dehydration or from a lack of collagen/elasticity?
I agree. I too believe the lines on my face are from the fraxel, they showed up right after the swelling went away. I was told they were from the laser and that they would go away, but 10 months later there still there, and just getting worst. They to told me now it's because of my age, but none of my sisters, or even my mother has these creepy lines around there mouth. It's all about the money, we are just a $$ sign to them, not people with feelings or lives. My face, life, and family is ruined over this procedure, when will they stop deforming people, just for the money. Take care, and if you find anything that helps, please let me know. My heart goes out to you, and hope you get better.
I also have numerous lines on my face that appeared about 2 weeks after I was told they were track marks, but 10 months later, they are still there and just gets worst. My skin problems I know are caused by the fraxel laser. I had beautiful skin, and now it's ruined.

Just to update you, my skin is terribly terribly dry in my lower face, and it feels so tight that its hard for me to move my face without noticing it, its very uncomfortable. I can also start making out the wrinkles on my lower face,. I never had one damn wrinkle till I did this stupid thing, I also had oily skin, my forehead is less oily, but still produces oil, my chin and cheeks however have not been so fortunate. I I am putting glycerin and coconut oil to try and increase flexibility, because it hurts to smile.. I also carry around a small jar of vaseline because my skin on my chin and neck starts to hurt because it has no moisture left. A total nightmare.

So glad you are continuing to update. I wish you were seeing improvement, and that your skin wasn't feeling so uncomfortable. :( I remember you had talked to a nurse back in January, have you seen anyone since then? I would assume a burn would be healed by now, so I wonder if there might be something else that could help alleviate these symptoms you are having to deal with(??).
The symptoms are the result of the skin being dried out. I had EXTREMELY greasy skin, so much so I couldn't wear some powders because my skin would get super shiny, I never had to moisturize until this procedure, now it feels uncomfortable and tight. I'm at a loss. I actually liked having greasy skin, because it meant id most likely age slower, now im not so sure. I'll continue to keep you updated
I also have extremely dry skin, never had it before, also I have acne, never had that before fraxel laser, or the numerous other skin and vision problems I have now since I has fraxel laser. Do you work, because I work in a costumer relations job and have to wear makeup now since my complexion is ruined, and it still doesn't cover the sever damage fraxel did. I use to never wear makeup, except a little blush and eyeliner, now I can cake enough on. How are you able to put moisturizers on so much, my skin also needs it? This is just another bad side effect like all of them that my doctor never stated could happen, because according to them nothing bad could happen.
I had fraxel on my face and décolleté on July 26 th and am dealing with severe dryness and itching. I am also breaking out in sores on my forehead and décolleté. Any suggestions. Feels like an allergic itching.
It had been couple years now. I want to know how your skin now. Is it still dry or go to your normal skin now. My skin is supper dry now so I wonder how other people do after fraxel laser for couple years.
Hello group, so I had fraxel restore on November 21, 2018; it has now become the worst day of my life. I feel I suffered laser damage, I am pretty sure I was burnt from inside out. I have extremely dry skin on my face, no oil production and get red boils on my face now. I went to the dermatologist to get lines filled around my mouth and the doctor suggested I do a quick fraxel restore sine it helps with fine lines and texture. I am now left with very wrinkly skin lines that run on the side of my face. I use to have nice shine and glow to my face, now it’s dull and dry with super orange peel skin, holes and can not get any moisture to hold. I have been back to the treating dermatologist 5 times, she says she has been doing this for 20 years and has never seen anything like this and that she sees nothing wrong with my skin. She thinks I got great results. My face is so sunk in and tight she said I got a face lift from the fraxel. On my last appointment she told me that she sees nothing wrong with my skin and there is nothing more she can do to help me, so if I come back I need to see another doctor. So I just got left in the dark.
I am using Hyaluronic Acid serum with moisture over the top. I used tinted sunscreen and that’s all. If I try to wear makeup it makes the holes and texture so pronounced that I look like a reptile. Since I am 4 months post fraxel destruct is there any hope of me getting my oil glands back.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
