Posted to It Was a Disaster on 3 Apr 2011
It has been 2 years now since my disaster procedure. I did a 1-month course of topical steroids (prescription strength) which helped. It took about 1 year before it looked anthing close to normal. i do have some permanent damage. I have an area that looks like rash or a cluster of freckles just above my breasts. Not the worst it could be but definitely more noticeable ugly than my skin was before hte procedure. From a distance, it looks okay otherwise, but close up the skin looks rougher than the surrounding skin. So, a negative rather than positive, but I feel fortunaate that it's not as bad as it could have been.

I know many people for whom laser works great. However, my suggestion for everyone is to do a test patch in the area. I've found a doctor that will do this and does it routinely if there is any question. She charges a small fee for the test patch which gets applied to the cost of the entire area if you decide to move forward.

Best of luck!
