Fraxel Damage - Worse mistake of my life!

Mis_b, I just ordered the yellow cream that imsorrynow2 suggested. I had to order it from company in the UK. She says it helped her out alot and she doesn't have to use all the make up to cover it up. I pray that this helps me as much as it helped her. I posted pictures of my damage. Did you see them? It's horrible, so as I said, I hope this is my miracle to better, clearer skin. If you decide to get it, let me know. I ordered the yellow cream and the k ceutics from skinsentials and the cost for both items was $108

Hi FSRB, Just checking in to see how your appointment went and to see if you've been able to improve the situation. Please let me know if you've found the miracle worker. :)

imsorrynow2- can you tell me where you purchased the cream from. I have the Philosophy Vit C powder and use it in my moisturizer. What do you use it in? Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. When notifying the FDA what happens and what do you tell them? I'm tired of feeling the way I do on a daily basis. My 3 years has come and gone with no improvement.

Hi Mis_b, Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution and it seems to get worse as time goes on. Wish I could give you some good news. I even went to a plastic surgeon to see if he could suggest a treatment and their is none. He apologized and said that not even a face lift would help because of the positioning of the damage. The anger and anquish I feel when I look in the mirror causes alot of negative emotions on myself. No longer feel attractive and feel that its what people see right away. Ugh..... hate it. I really wish I could slice that part of my skin off in hopes that new skin would come in. :(

hi, I don' have any pictures on this page that show damage done by the fraxel. But Inassure you that what I have is damage done by the Fraxel laser. You can literally see the tracks left behind by the swipes done the by the physician that performed the procedure. I don't smoke nor do I drink. I currently live in the state of Washington, where the sunshine is sparse andi drink lots of water. I have tried lots of different creams to help lighten the areas to no avail. The layer of skin beneath is damaged or burned. I've had no improvement but have had more damage surface in the almost three years sincenthe procedure. i have gone to olympia Plastic Surgery and they do perform the QSwitch, I'm just very skeptical and afraid that more damage can be caused by more laser. I use SPF religiously even with minimal sunshine here. I've broken down in tears on more than one occasion because I just don't feel attractive anymore. I look in the mirror and see ugly and I believe this is the first thing people see when they look at me. this is a horrible way to have to feel all because of lack of and mis infomation on the procedure. the pitting shows in some areas and the texture is dry and patchy. thank you for all your input and will do more research on both of the procedures you've mentioned, understandably I'll still be afraid of trying anything else on my face in fear of worsening whats already there. I did ask if they'd do a tet patch with the Qswitch but she just danced around my question. :(
