I Am So Scarred.... 6 Weeks Post Fraxel Restore - Spain

Tell me how your skin is now. Did it get any better? I am worried that my skin will turn out like yours - I had CO2 laser skin resurfacing 13 days ago and my face and neck are still red and scaly, I have many more pimples and acne, and the lines around my mouth are worse. Please tell me your skin got better over time!

I am so sorry this has happened to you...same thing happened to my daughter (awalk) she tried everything possible to undo her damage and was researching and looking for a doctor to do some fat grafting. Unfortunately she passed with her face damaged and herself mentally tortured with self believ and anger that someone did this to her based on lies and deciet of the TRUE facts. I hope and pray you can find someone to repair your ace and that you have before and after records and photos..... find a lawyer before your statue of limitations run out. Don't self blame and try to stay positive that a resolution is in your future. Your face is only the image to your soul...... you have your soul and family and friends that love you for you. You can and WILL get through this. Unfortnatley it may take longer than the proceduer that did this..but stay positive..depression is a killer of your soul and will deprive you of you spirit and drive to overcome this! Praying for you! Sincerely Cherry lane

these settings are very VERY superficial basically they were only using 20% of the lasers strength so this is really shocking i am very sorry about this i experienced it too It just goes to show that even at very superficial low settings this laser can be very damaging

Thank GOd!!!i have to say that things got a lot better and my skin became much more elastic, firm and better toned by now ( 8 months post fraxel...i just did one fraxel treatment) I went to a derm in May and she told me to do nothing to my skin and to give time to my skin to heal alone, i am 34 and according to her at this age the skin still has a lot of power to regenerate fully....she injected me 3 times vitamines ( mesotheraphy) spaced 3 weeks and gave me some powerful Antioxidant Vitamin pills to give to my body all important nutrients to help regenerate...and except this, I have done nothing, just moistering cream for sensitive skin, Sun protector 50 all the time, and thermal water spray to keep it moistoire, I tried not to read any negative stories so I avoided these kind of forums...because emotional stress creates oxidants, which are attacking yor cells and degenerate skin...so more horrified and scared you are, more stress it creates...not good!!!you get depressed etc...and look at people which are depressed or unhappy due to somo incident in their life ( no skin treatmenT), they look older, haggard, sad...your skin is a mirror of your soul..and if your soul is tortured your skin will reflect this, and in our case having done this agressive treatment where good regeneration of collagen, elastin, cells is everything...this kind of stress multiplicates the damage not allowing to heal properly. So my recomendation is, Stay away from Internet, dont be obsessed with the mirror and the changes to your skin ( it will get back to normal if you allow), sleep at least 8 h, drink a lot of water, eat well or take high quality vitamin supplements, practise sport to help blood circulation, and try to convince yourself that you will look good again...its a question of time. your skin is weakend, so stay away from agressive creams and further treatments or surgery, the best thing is even to stay away from any meds, they only will talk you into some more treatments ( to earn money) you will only achieve to weaken your skin even more. Try 1 whole year to do nothing, except the things I have mentioned above and your will see that your skin recuperates!!! Good luck to everybody

I am so happy for you!! I am hoping for the same results!!
