Fraxel Left Me with Indents and Lines All over my Arms - Tampa, FL

Scars and Burns After IPL -Tampa, FL

Oh yes because of reading all the stories here you were lucky indeed. Problem is the aggressive approach so many that are doing this procedure! I later found each step up can be 30 percent stronger. That is much stronger and not worth the risk. So did you take photos or did they take photos for you?

That is good you had wonderful results. Like I have said previously my sister did also though she is very fair and really did not have much wrong. I had my first treatment which was wonderful and I was happy . Thirty days later had a second treatment when she said she would turn it up from 18 to 19 the procedure hurt more and the burn lasted longer. Two weeks later I noticed damage three months later more damage showed. Two years later the results of the burn showed the significance of how deep this damage went. Just realize after the fact the procedure in theory is that damaging the skin is controlled which SHOULD have the skin produce new(scar) collagen. You can read it does too often go wrong. I along with others were unlucky. Just wish we were warned this could even happen. Note my photos of damage are much like others we have that in common. Did you take before and after photos I did not see any? Just don't let them turn it up if you haveore treatments.

Please read on. One story here went to the same doctor for five years and than one time turned up just one level and damage ten times worse than a brown spot. My first treatment was great but the second time within two weeks lines, pixel holes, loss of volume, so much worse than my brown spots. It thins the skin and caused it to sag. Two years later I have more brown spots even though I never, ever tan or tanned myself in the prior 20 years. You might be fine but I would not feel right without warning you. I went to a doctor, I did my research, I did a test spot, I did not tan before or after, and I have light skin and blue eyes. I should have been fine but I am not and the damage continues even two years later. The decision is yours but if I could go back and know what could of happened I would have never elected to do it.

Really raw onion? What is that suppose to do? Is there somewhere that you read about this and what did it do for you? I guess it would be a cheap fix but I am sure no one is going to kiss you goodnight after that! LOL

Dear DaisyD I can't believe someone did this to you. I do mean I believe you, but not the fact something like this goes on daily and the one who performed this procedure continues to go on their merry way. I was looking at pictures of myself that had been taken three months before my procedure and photos since then and I have that same melted face look. I have always had a full check face but now it looks like someone who lost 75lbs quickly. I have deep lines which appears as the support tissue of skin and fat are desolved. The only thing that helps our appearance most have discussed here is fillers which are temporary and not ideal on the checks and fat fillers which uses your own fat from other areas of your body to inject into your face. That is pretty expensive. I would hope you would be wary of any doctor who wants to treat with more laser. We can only hope some genius is out there who has a treatment maybe something with our own cells that will repair our damage. I hope you find a doctor to help and keep us all posted. We all are searching and hoping. Best to you
