  • Posted to No Difference...will Cause Hyperpigmentation - Canada on 21 Sep 2008

    I had Fraxel Re:Pair in early August and followed post-care instructions exactly. Used heavy sunscreen, hat and avoided outside as much as possible. Acne scars (reason for treatment_now show little reduction and my face is COMPLETELY covered in hyperpigmentation. Esp chin/upper neck has stripes. I'm 34 and it actually made me look OLDER. I avoid mirrors and am so depressed. Dr prescribed Tri-Luma and said ok for breastfeeding but my Internet research contradicted that so I weaned baby cold turkey. Painful and hard too. Is there anything that can be done to get my skin back to where it was? I'm caucasion, VERY fair skinned, lots moles, but don't tan that much w/ green eyes and Dr said was surprised this happened.
