Fraxel Treatment Made my Frown Lines Worse?

February 16, 2010
Asked By:jazzhands in Alabama

I had Fraxel laser therapy for 2 scars above my lips and also down around my frown lines. I went 4 times 6 weeks apart and then returned once after a 1 year break. When I returned the clinician set the settings to the level I of my last visit, even though I had progressed to that level.I now feel like she burned my face (I still have redness) and made my frown lines more pronounced and deeper. Could this be possible?
