I have just been to a clinic for a consultation and they said I should have fractional laser as I would only need one treatment and can top up with BBL and Botox if I need as a preventative. I am 31 years old I do have many wrinkles around my eyes especially my right eye and two deep wrinkles inbetween my brows. I have comondones and a couple of small scares from spots. I am currently breastfeeding too. I live in dubai so I am out in the sun a lot. And I do love to sunbath. Should I get it?
after fraxel re-store treatment how sensitive is to the sun? planning on doing the re-store treatment my main concern now is would I be able to sun bathing? Editor's Note: Find out more about sensitive skin and Fraxel treatments here.
Ive read from other RealSelf answers that you should avoid sun exposure up to 6 months after Fraxel and other answers that say 2-4 weeks should be sufficient. What is the general rule for sun exposure after Fraxel for different skin types? What about RF microneedling, like Infini?
I just had my first Fraxel Restore two weeks ago on my neck and face. Unfortunately I had some accidental sun exposure due to sweating and my sun screen coming off. What should I do now? Is there any recourse for this?
I've done Fraxel in the middle of February. my skin recovered very fast. I have never had hiperpigmentation after Sun. In the end of May I'm going to Egypt. Can I spent some time on the Sun ( with Sun protection cream ) or should I avoid Sun at all? Help me please !!
I've been on Hydroquinone 4% for 4 weeks after having PIH from a laser fraxel treatment. I have olive skin and i've never been sensitive to sun exposure. I was wondering if i'd have to wear sunscreen for the rest of my life and avoid sun exposure or is it mainly suggested during the treatment? And will the results last forever or would i need to use Hydroquinone again? Thanks,
The keloid arose post-cautery of a wart. It is much darker than my skin ( and I have coloured skin tone). Another question that I have, post the fraxel laser session could I go to the beach or get exposed to the sun normally? Or will there be a risk of further hyperpigmentation.
This is probably overkill, but leaving the doctor's office after getting my fraxel treatment, I unexpectedly had about 30 seconds to one minute of direct sun exposure at 2pm on my face on my way to the car. Tried blocking with my hand with mild success. Should I expect hyperpigmentation or other negative effects? I plan to never go in the sun ever again after this! Thanks!
I was looking forward for a fraxel or Dot laser but I have been told that since I'm hispanic that i run the risk of hyperpigmentation. So will I always have to wear sunscreen or stay away from sun after a laser treatment because of the risk of skin problems. One specialist told me she would do a series of micropen & DOT but put me on hydroquinone. Other specialist said they'd also put me on hydroquinone, then have a series of fraxel treatments. What is a safe treatment for hispanics?
I've got some pigmented and slightly bumpy skin texture on my upper chest. My General Practitioner have prescribed anti-fungal creams and steroids to calm it down but after 5 months, it's still the same. Can lasers be used to treat the texture?
