Will my skin ever be normal again after Fraxel 9 months ago?

JasonSaludagaFeb 18, 2019
It's been 9 months since my Fraxel but my skin is still red, dry and continues to deteriorate. The quality of my skin is also deteriorating. It started 3 months after my fraxel, my face became sensitive. New scars/dents on my face would appear without any prior damage and gets itchy even to the most sensitive products. I went back to the doctor who did my laser. She advised me to have gold laser for the redness and also misdiagnosed me of having seborrhea, I had to double check it and had check ups to 2 other dermatologists. Please help me, will my skin ever be normal again? .

It’s a bit too frequent. You are not giving your skin enough time to heal. Sometimes you can develop hyperpigmentation from using it too often. The best interval is 4 weeks. Fraxel involves 2 - 4 weeks of downtime.

I would recommend no physical activity for at least 7 days after CO2 Fraxel. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

It depends on what fluence and level were used for your treatment and what was the overall goal. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
