Asked By:123okay in Sarasota, FL

Hi, Twice in my life some time ago I had laser resurfacing with poor outcomes. Multiple scars needing steroid injections, rough waxy skin texture, minimal tightening, blotchy discoloration have been some results. My skin is very fair and normally sensitive. Does my skin type make me a poor candidate for laser resurfacing or are bad results more due to poor technique? Dr. was double board certified. I don't understand why the poor outcomes. Any better procedures without bad trade-offs? Thanks.
