I got a Fraxel Repair treatment about 5 years ago in order to improve my acne scars. Instead the laser created very obvious scars in my lower eye lid area. I am devastated and don't leave the house since this happened. I tried derma needling, local spot dermabrasion, medium TCA peels and Retin-A to improve the scars. But it only helped minimally. What other options do I have? What shall I try? I desperately need some advice and a good treatment plan! Thanks!
