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

FraxelistheWORSTMay 29, 2015
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?

If you are talking about co2, 70 mJ is the highest setting, I do have the REPAIR and RESTORE but choose to use a different Fractional device because for acnes scars, I do need higher energy levels. Great laser for overall skin rejuvenation, especially on the neck, but  many other better dev...
