What are some recommendations to improve skin texture after Fraxel re;pair? I am 7 weeks post-treatment. My skin texture is pretty rough. Is Retin-A or a mild chemical peel an option? I also have what I perceive as probably mild scarring. Close up, I can see pin prick type marks. They look like small pores. What makes them more noticeable is they are obviously mechanically made so I have this weird repeating pattern of them across my face. I think this is what is referred to as laser made track marks. Any suggestions for how to treat those? I thought that if the Retin A was safe post laser it might help these as well. Thanks all!
I am at 24 days post treatment. At first my skin looked pretty good. Then, I guess, the microswelling I had heard about went down. I expected to still be red but now I have very rough textured skin. I still have my acne scars and there is pixel-like pitting on on the surface of my skin (you can see how the laser was used over the surface of my skin). I think I see vertical lines appearing on my forehead now, as well. Can any doctors recommend how to treat these after-effects/possible damage?
