Can Fraxel Cause Extreme, Permanent Scarring Years After Treatment?

2250anon
I've read many posts from Fraxel patients who claim that they started seeing horrible, deep (sometimes open wound) permanent scars a year or so after getting their first Fraxel treatment. How much research/evidence has been found towards this?
