I had fractionated ablative erbium combined with non ablative erbium 4.5 months ago for sun damage, sagging skin and fine lines. After four months the improvement is almost non existent. I'm 33 yo and I was told the settings were very high. Healing process was corresponding with high settings too. I don't believe it will improve from now on. All fine lines in the mouth and eye area are still there. I thought that fine lines would be erased since they're not deep. Any explanation? Thank you.
Answer: Recommend doing Clear & Brilliant to help reduce appearance of fine lines 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: Erbium laser results At 4.5 months, you should be close to your final result. With a combination treatment, there should be significant improvement in lines and wrinkles. I would recommend returning to see your board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to assess your results, and determine whether a repeat treatment, or additional modality is necessary. Best wishes.

Answer: Fractionated laser I'm sorry that you're not happy with your results. Often times these fractionated/combined therapies take multiple rounds of treatment to see significant benefits.

Answer: No improvement after laser resurfacing Fractional ablative laser at appropriately high settings should reduce fine wrinkles and sun damage. Deeper wrinkles may require more than session. Folds of skin can not be eliminated with laser resurfacing. CO2 fractional ablative resurfacing at moderate or aggressive settings (according to skin type and other factors) is extremely gratifying for patients after just one session. Photographs are important to check progress with wrinkles and sun damage. Collagen neo-genesis and remodeling continues for 6-12 months. It is important to follow up with your doctor so that he/she may be aware of your results at particular settings with the particular laser used. Your doctor can give you explanations that are most accurate for your situation.
