I had 4 fraxel treatments on my entire arms to treat age spots. They did not work. The doctor suggested hydroquinine cream for the summer and also treated the larger ones with liquid nitrogen (?). So far after 2 months, I still have NO visible results. The doctor suggested 1-2 complimentary IPL treatments in the fall but am concerned they won't work either. Additionally, my skin actually appears crepey which I don't recall before the fraxel. I spent $3000 which is not easy for me to come by. Any treament suggestions or alternatives?
I am a very fit 105 lb 54 year old and do have some upper arm skin wrinkles when my arms hang down by my side. They are very annoying as I am in great shape and only want this area done as well as fine wrinkles in my neck. Would the co2 laser be effective for either?
Ive been on prednisone (60mg to eventually 0) for 6 months from April to mid-October for my lupus nephritis which I am now off and managing with only plaquenine and Cellcept. My lupus is in remission. I developed very bad stretch marks on my arms, legs, and waist, and was wondering how long after prednisone treatment would I be able to get laser surgery?
I received Fraxel CO2 laser treatment on my arm back in May for scars on my arms. It is now July and I have since opted out on the additional procedures due to some skin textual changes that I wasn't happy with that hasn't gone away (Tiny dots and little bit of pink) I am scheduled to get a tattoo in August on the same area (3 months after my one and only Fraxel treatment) my question is, is this safe to do so? Will my skin not hold the ink? Will it cause a reaction or additional scarring?
I got my left and right arm treated with fraxel yesterday for self harm scars. My right arm seems to have multiple blisteres. The blisters are filled with a clear / yellow liquid. Is this normal? My left arm looks fine, so I dont know what happened to my right arm.
I have grannuloma annulare. It was very extensive on my legs and arms. Completely stained my calves from knee to foot. Humira has completely cleared me for 2 years. I want to have a deep laser resurfacing. I am still taking the Humira. Is cosmetic surgery on the face contraindicated when taking Humira?
