My skin has been ruined. I had fraxel 1550 a year ago and the texture of my skin has changed. I suffer from redness,sensitivity, hyperpigmentation and have the orange peel texture. After my first treatment I was in alot of pain felt really itchy. 5 days post fraxel i looked burnt. I wasnt healiing properly and knew something wasn't right. I called the clinic who told me to just apply ointment and be patient. 4 weeks went on and I was still healing. What went wrong and how can I reverse.
My dermatologist prescribed tretinoid 0,1% + vitamin B , and vitamin C in AM. I noticed that after a month of using it, my skin is darker, my spots more pronounce and I have been burned on the side of my cheeks, on the line of my mouth. I have stopped since the treatment burned my skin, I have called my doctor Dermatologist but she is not returning my calls!. What can I do to get rid of the burn side effects? Do they go away? I heard of picosure lasser but I am afraid of the side effects.
My skin type is III/ IV. I had Fraxel 3 weeks ago done by a TOP dermatologist and got Impetigo infection ...according to the doctor that treated me. Wast treated with Antibiotics . The infection is now completely cleared. Went for a second opinion with a renowed dermatologist and he said that this was NOT impetigo but is a burn from the Fraxel. Now my skin have a red/ Pink scar and the surrounding tissue is dark. Im treating with Azalex. Will this go away ?How this scar can be treated?
I had a spot treatment for an acne scar with fraxel laser7 days ago. I developed an infection the next day and was put on antibiotics and muciproin. I feel my face was burned! I worry about scarring:-(
I have had 2 consultations and both PS recommended Fraxel for skin resurfacing, but the reviews are terrifying. Are you guys seeing all of these issues in your practice with Fraxel? Burns, orange peel skin, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, persistent erythema, scars?
