Hi, my doctor did it at 45mj, level 8, with 6 passes. Is this appropriate for acne scars? I I am of North Indian descent. I had a few session years ago and I felt like the skin was more crisp, darker bronzing, and the skin that formed afterwards was more fresh looking. I felt like I got more out of each one of those earlier sessions. Is this doctor's setting a little too passive or did the technician perhaps move a little fast hence I didn't get as much of an effect?
I am trying to decide between fraxel or cutera limelight for browning, freckly skin. I have gone to two derms and one said IPL and one said Fraxel. See pictures attached. I live in S. Florida, so sun exposure might affect the advice given to me. Thank you for your help in this matter!
I had a fraxel treatment done on my cheeks four weeks ago. I started to notice PIH after 2nd week of treatment. I went back to my dermatologist and she prescribed me Obagi clear. It seems like the PIH is getting darker and darker every single day and it's very depressing. Make up does not cover it either.
I did 2 fraxel laser treatments for the stretch marks on my butt cheeks. I am of indian descent and have brown skin. The area where the machine ran left the skin very dark. The clinic told me to use hydroquinone 4% but it did not help, then they told me to use retinol. The skin peeled and got darker. I stopped using both products a month ago. The clinic also stopped helping me. It is now 17 wks since my last treatment. Please help me.
Are scab like dots normal after fraxel dual? I had fraxel dual, im not sure which one of the wavelengths was used but i have small scab dots from where the laser hit. I looked all over the internet and i cant find anything about this. After reading about what to expect after the procedure, it says nothing about this.. I am a light brown skin color probably fitzpatrick 4. They are slowly falling off, but is this normal? Will it cause the skin to get worse? Was something done wrong?
