What can be done to correct bumpy texture after fraxel restore?

May 29, 2015
Asked By:FraxelistheWORST in Chicago, IL

What is the best thing to do to correct a bumpy, cobblestone texture after fraxel? TCA peel? Dermabrasion? Retin a? Just waiting and hoping it heals? I am four months post and have not seen any improvement in this cobblestone texture since it came about 2 weeks after the procedure. Would silicone scar sheets help with the bumpiness?

Bigger Pores after Fraxel Restore? Why?
Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

I often use Fraxel laser to help diminish pore sizing as it stimulates collagen ( my regime is a high density 1927, with little 1550).  Depending on your skin quality, 2-3 treatments maybe needed. If you could post the before and after photos, this will give us an indication of the pore sizing ...
