I Am So Scarred.... 6 Weeks Post Fraxel Restore - Spain

My injections where 1,5 year ago and it totally changed my face, I was a good looking woman, now i look ugly, gross and totally different and overfilled. I still feel my face is growing although i lost a lot of weight. I dont feel it will ever go away and i will look like me again.

Hello everyone, i had my 1st fraxel 2,5 years ago (jan10)if you read my reviews you will see that this experience was very stressful but and there is a big BUT, finally i healed and got very good skin, since that time i did 3 further treatments ( may 11, dec 11 and sep 12) at light settings( 15/5/6) . Healing and closing of microholes got from 8 month in first trestment to 1-2 months. Overall my skin looks healthier, more even and more velvet-like. I did a second treatment because after one ipl treatment i messed up my skin (my skin does not like treatments working with just heating up the skin like thermage ipl etc)and i risk to have a 2nd fraxel to fix the ipl damage. I always had kind of shiny thin skin with enlarged pores and After all the fraxels my skin got thicker and more elastic. Kind of teenager skin. I am36 and people think that im in the 20ees, that was not the case before the trestments. I dont know why fraxel turned finally out being a bless for me,maybe because i allow a lot of time between the treatments, maybe because of the low settings my skin got used to and is now perfectly coping with it, maybe during healing i do absolutly nothing then cleaning with a neem soap and 50+ sunscreen moisturer cream, thats it! , maybe because i am no longer obsessing about the changes while healing knowing it will be fine one day, maybe because i enjoy and stay outside doing sports, not thinking about my skin and having a positive attitude. As everybody here once i thought my life is over, i was stressed and in panic looking at my skin, depressed thinking i need a face lift to fix it, thought i damaged my skin for the rest of my life and more sad i got more damaged my skin appeared. Then thank god i went traveling 2 months backpackerstyle where o completely forgot about my face i enjoyed life again, slept well, healthy food and when i got back everybody said how good i looked and what wonderful skin i got, so ladies for healing properly you need healing power and only staying positive, sleeping well and sufficient hours, good food and being happy will provide you with full healing power!!! Please do not obsess and live in worry, this will have an opposite effect on healing and recovering your skin!!! Good luck to everybody i just wanted to let you know that fraxel bad outcome is no condition for life and can surprisingly turn out in a good outcome!

hello I am in Marbella, please let me know the name of the doctor..I have scar tissue too but not because of fat, my problem is beien overfilled with sculptra. And I looking for somebody who could help me to get rid of this fat face look...

Ho bowman,

my 2nd treatment was very light settings, there fore the damage is light and not as noticable as the 1st time. healing goes quick. My skin looks ok, nothing to worry about, a little bit dry and more stretchy but no severe textural issues, no cat scratches no lines, and no vissible holes, and I know it will get betterin 2 months...
