I am on day 6 after fraxel and on I still have a red area of what appears to be broken blood vessels at the top of my nose. I also have a patch of scaly darker skin next to it. I had fraxel restore. Is this normal healing? The doctor said he did my entire nose at a high setting.
I decided to do the dual fraxel laser, since I was told it is the best and newest laser on the market. I have had IPL done countless times and it wasn't picking up the hyperpigmentation that was really bothering me. I had the procedure done on 4/2/13 and it is now 4/23/13, 3 weeks later. I am still red, my skin is rough in texture, the track marks are still very visible and I am severely breaking out. I am on two antibiotics for the acne and I am still breaking out. I also have broken capillaries from the acne and post peeling. I need some reassurance that this is just a long process that I wasn't properly informed of. I would appreciate if an expert has any advice. I need peace of mind!
My 3rd Fraxel treatment was on 1/6/10. Unfortunately, it left me with very dry skin, and broken capillaries (dark patches) and roughness under my eyes, on the ridge above my cheekbones. I'm now treating the dark, rough skin with NeoCutis Blanche cream (hydroquinone 4%), and moisturizer, plus sunscreen all the time. I want to turn my skin over as quickly as I can. Can I now try microderm and/or a light glycolic peel? I liked the result I got from them before, but now post-Fraxel, my skin seems drier and more fragile. OK or too harsh just yet?
I had fraxel laser and about a week after treatment I was rougher with my skin than I should have been. I had blood spots and touching them/lightly squeezing them made them much worse. I also caused a red spot on my cheek from sleeping wrong. It was like any slight touch and a new blood spot/broken capillary appeared. I am scared its now permanent. Is there a chance it can still fade with the collagen still coming in? I dont know what to do or why my face is still so sensitive.
