I hope so too, I use castor oil, coconut oil, vaseline...it's really awful. I just can't believe my face no longer can retain any moisture...I'll let you know if I find anything that works for me.
I read your story and am experiencing similar issues...did the doctor's say anything about the dry skin or what you can do to treat it. It's almost two years on for me and it's difficult to walk in the wind because my face constantly feels chapped. It's been a nightmare for me too, I know what you are going through
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.
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
it's absolutely horrible. I never, ever had dry skin, my skin was so greasy that if i didn't wash my face, the sebum would get into my eyes and burn. I have lost oil production on my chin area and under my mouth. I couldn't wear powder previously without getting super shiny, that doesn't happen anymore. I NEVER wore moisturizer before - ever. Now I have to wear vaseline 2x a day? This is ridiculous.
