I had Fraxel on my nose two months ago to reduce pores. My nose was swollen and red for a couple of days. Soon after, a tiny bump or ridge starting appearing across my nose. It may be the result of skin tightening that shows the underlying tissue. Pores are better and I will go back for another treatment. But I really want to know what caused the ridge and if it is going to become more noticeable after another treatment. I went to a reputable dermatologist whom I have used for many years. I want to see the pictures that were made prior to the treatment, before the next one. Updated on 12 Feb 2011: I have subsequently become better educated about Fraxel treatments and will have more of these. Dr. P' is one of my favorite practitioners.
I had an allergic reaction to a treatment preformed by Anna Paré, M.D. at Dermatology Consultants, P.C. (Atlanta). I went back for an emergency follow up because of this allergic reaction. Anna Paré, M.D. at Dermatology Consultants, P.C. advised THEY would give me my test results to understand and to care for my allergic condition. THIS TOOK 72 HOURS even as I called again, and again, they would not respond to me. I had to seek attention at a different Dermatology physician. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
