Thank you for your question.Do you have before and after pictures to include?

To be sure what is going on with you, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.

I hope this helps.

Anything can happen with any type of laser but the reality is that the non-ablative fractional lasers, which includes the 1410 nm laser, and with only one treatment, will not cause any volume loss from the procedure. Any laser treatment can cause scars – but we use this to improve scars.  Non-ablative fractional lasers need 4-6 treatments over a 4-6 month period to see significant results – was this explained to you?  And what type of skin care are you using – this too is important.At this point I would recommend that you make an appointment with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon or the equivalent in your country to learn what the best treatments are for you moving forward.
