Can Fraxel be used on this upper chest skin exposed to too much sun exposure? (photo)

Asked By:jumpingjacks in United Kingdom, GB

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?

I'm considering Fraxel 1550 with 5 treatments for under eye wrinkles and crows feet. Will a low setting minimize downtime?
Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

Here, in this video I review the Fraxel 1927 and 1550 laser. I think it is an excellent laser for pigment, sun spots, and rejuvenation in lighter skin types. I think the 1550 works OK with scar and wrinkles, but it is not the best. Other treatments in can provide a better outcome with less ...
