Yes. The doctor did a couple of chemical peels and tried another laser treatment (much less intense than fraxel) but neither really helped. She suggested (after consulting with other docs) another very light round of fraxel to fix it, but that scares me, so I haven't done anything in a while.
I had the same problem with fraxel:repair and I'm not two years out from the procedure and still have bad/rough skin texture and 'micro hole scarring' on parts of my face.
@may--I was told by my doctor that the repair at low settings might be a good option, but I haven't decided what I'm going to do you.
I'm 6 months out and my doctor has pretty much confirmed that I have scarring from the procedure and that it will not get better. My skin is rough and in some spots, it's almost like I have gigantic pores, but it's really the spots from the laser. My temples are particularly bad.
If you haven't already reported your problem, you should report it to Solta Medical, the makers of Fraxel Repair. I called and of course they said no one else has called with a similar complaint. I'm also reporting to the FDA.

It's been suggested that I do another round of the Fraxel Repair at very low settings. This really scares me, so I don't know what I will do. What have you been told?
Hi Dr. Persky - my doc now thinks this is a microscarring that can sometimes occur with fraxel. My skin texture just isn't the same as it was before the procedure and now I'm 4 months out. Any suggestions to help?
