I wanted to improve my acne scarring. I was told I would need 3 fraxel lasers to help with my acne scarring. I had two fraxel restore 1550 sessions. My first was January 5th. Didn't notice any improvement. I had my second laser March 9th and the laser ruined my skin. I have textural issues on my whole face, fat loss in my cheeks (mainly my left cheek), some broken capillaries, and some discoloration. It has been 2 /12 months since I had my second laser. Since then I think my texture had improved ever so slightly since right after the procedure. I have been taking a ton of supplements and been using EltaMD products. My doctor left me in the dark and blamed me for the skin texture and volume loss. It made me sick to my stomach I put any faith in this doctor. I spent a year researching the best doctor and when there was a problem he left me out to dry. I don't trust doctors anymore. I would like to connect with people on here going through this. I have been seeing a therapist since this happened and started on anti depressants . I would do anything to have my old face back . (One photo is with makeup on and the other is without) you can see the texture issues and looks much worse in person! ( I've been breaking out due to stress from this) Updated on 4 Jun 2017: Orange peel texture is still here. It is covering my entire face. I have makeup on and it still doesn't cover it. My face looks burned. In my photo I am wearing makeup and it is worse in person Updated on 5 Jun 2017: Skin is orange peel. Wanted to post another pic of what my skin looks like 10 hours of wearing makeup. It's so bad. Updated on 14 Jun 2017: I went to a dermatologist and he said my skin is still inflamed he put me on solodyn (minocycline ) and aczone. I think it has helped with the orange peel texture of my skin so far. Since it has brought some of the inflammation down I can really see all the broken cappilaries this laser has left me! I only had broken caps around my nose before no where on my cheeks. My skin looks so old. Do not don't fraxel even if it preformed by a good doctor! They will just leave you in the dark. Updated on 26 Jun 2017: This is what my makeup looks like... you can see the cobblestone like skin everywhere. My skin underneath my makeup looks thin and burnt and discolored. I believe I have thermal damage from the laser. I now get eye bags really bad in the morning g since having this done. Still have broken caps everywhere, texture issues, discoloration, thin skin, veins etc just terrible. What I'm using is aczone, elta md barrier, ciclafate, and biafine cream.
