2 months ago, I stupidly burned myself with an at-home Fraxel laser. When I saw some crusting the next day, I aggressively started rubbing it, which peeled off even more unburned, healthy skin, leaving the whole patch raw, red, and indented in the exact shape of the area where I stopped peeling the skin. The skin has not grown back in much. Would Fraxel Dual treatments fix this? I am obsessing over the loss of volume in my face and the horrible, jagged oval shape in the middle of my chin.

Thank you for your question. It sounds like you have blisters on the treatment areas. I would recommend continuing on what your doctor prescribed you and also using mild skin care products and daily SPF 30 with zinc. I hope this helps!
Fraxel is unlikely to cause dermatitis around the eyes and mouth. Typically this condition can be treated with oral anti-antibiotics and topical rosacea.
Fraxel® laser can thicken the under eye skin, so if your under eye darkness is because the skin is thinning and the under eye dark blood vessels are showing through, then Fraxel® should help. Depending on your individual eye area, the number and frequency of maintenance treatments.
