i wasnt aware of the full procedure and after doing it i was all squares all over my face and i was told that i would start crusting or peeling on my 3rd day but nothing. I work and the way my face looks i cant go infront of everyone and have hid myself as i look horrible. One would need a whole week recovery or more as it takes long for the treatment and my fraxtional laser was done on low heat

Thanks for sharing your experience, let us know how you make out with your recovery and keep us updated with your progress. Are you scheduled to have multiple treatments?

That does not look right. Have you shown this to the provider who did it? What did they say? I would go to a dermatologist or another office for a consult - have them look at it. In the meantime, keep everything moist (biafine, vaseline, aloe vera, etc.), don't pick at anything that starts peeling, and stay out of the sun. To, that looks like an IPL procedure w/ the settings set too high.

Please add pictures,would love to see what your new skin looks like after the square patches every where. Thanks for sharing Would like to get this done I would have been so upset if this happened to me and I didn't know this was part of the treatment So thank you so much for sharing. I have a lot of crow lines and wrinkles I was smoker for many years and in this past year my face has just showed every wrinkled So would love see how this turned out for you Thanks again for sharing
