How do you correct damage caused by fractional laser? My skin texture is now ten times worse than it was before I had 5 sessions of fractional laser. I had laser for the onset of small lines which are still there however now with a horrible enhanced waxy appearance. My skin has fully recovered as well being over 6 months. I have tried microneedling as well as topical creams with no success. I have been recommended profhilo and full ablative, will full ablative correct it or make it worse?
Answer: CO2 laser can help even out skin texture and tone Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Ablative Lasers after Fractional Treatments Thank you for your question and I’m sorry you haven’t seen positive results with your fractional laser treatments. Full ablative procedures can indeed have a dramatic effect on your skin texture and tone. However, the process does require some significant downtime afterward.

Answer: Skin texture and full field resurfacing Full field resurfacing will drastically improve wrinkles and the texture of the skin and even improve the appearance of pores. However, make sure you see someone with extensive experience. The full field resurfacing is a major procedure. I highly recommend the Erbium laser over the CO2 due to the fact that your results will be the same, buy your healing time and risk of complications are less with the Erbium.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

Answer: Improving Skin after Fraxel--add microneedling, prp, skin care, PDT therapy I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. We use a specific protocol of exfoliation, hydration, and moisturizing along with protection after laser treatments. PDT therapy can calm any inflammation. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp to get more of an outcome. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
