What should I do to even out my skin, 17 weeks after Fraxel?

I suggest posting photos.  I think you need to see someone who is an expert in lasers and treating dark skin types.  You need a good lightening skin protocol but this can only be recommended with an in person consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There is no good resurfacing laser therapy for stretch marks. I'm surprised they would encourage a fraxel laser to treat them.hydroquinone is really your best option. Use it daily and you may not start seeing a change for months.i hope this helps.

Our office specializes in laser resurfacing and we encourage patients to use Melarase creams before and after treatment with ablative lasers to improve skin tone and color. Best. Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Fraxel is a great laser for patients with type I through III skin.  When you have darker skin I would have explained the eMatrix laser for you.  The eMatrix is a great laser for patients of all skin types and works on stretch marks.  At this point I would encourage you to consult a board certified dermatologist who can prescribe hydroquinones and the proper topical treatments for you.  For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with lasers.
