So im 28 years old and had cystic acne when i was younger which left a good amount of scarring. i used accurate for it which helped the acne but the scarring has always been there. a dermatologist recommended fraxel laser to me snd another morpheus 8. based on this info i would like to know what will be the most effective procedure or option for my scarring. thanks :)
I had a cystic acne scar on my chest removed surgically six months ago. The surgical scar developed a small hard lump in the middle. I started monthly pulsed dye laser sessions three months ago but after the last session the scar became much more raised. The hard lump is still there. I will have another PDL session in two weeks and would like to have a fraxel session after that. How long should I wait between the two?
I use to have really bad cystic acne causing me to scar on my skin. I have few breakouts but ive been researching that you cant undergo the treatment since it can harm your skin. I went to a dermatology clinic and they said a fraxel treatment is what i need. I just want to fix my scarring or lesson the scars. I also would like to know what is the best treatment that works and is less invasive for im afraid of risks.
I had an allergic reaction to a retinol/bpo product which gave me cystic acne and PIH. I still have occasional breakouts and read that fraxel can cause some people to break out. Is this true? Or could it just be from the recovery cream they use after?
I'm 34 year old female with acne scarring from cystic acne that I had a few years back. I have quite pale skin but I seem to scar and mark quite easily. I was researching both Dermapen and ipixel Fraxel laser treatments and I'm still very confused as to which would be best for my skin. I hear Fraxel is great but there is an increased risk of hyperpigmentation and I'm concerned due to my skin type. Any help/advise would be much appreciated.
I have scars on my cheek from cystic acne that lasted ~8 mos in 2012. Last year I had 5 Dermapen treatments. Recently I finished 3 Fraxel Dual treatments. The dr. performing Fraxel recommended 6-8 total, or to switch to Infini. Not sure what to do? Can't tell if I see a difference after 3 Fraxels. Dermapen didn't give me any results. I'm also curious about CROSS technique. So far these treatments on 1 cheek have cost me thousands. I want to be sure any investment I make is the best one. Thanks!
I had two Fraxel lasers (three weeks apart) in a certified plastic surgeon in order to remove my acne scars. After my first Fraxel I had a few breakouts but I had antibiotics and they were down soon. After my second Fraxel a whole bunch of cystic breakouts started to appear on my face and antibiotics won't help this time. I went to my doctor by he didn't help me at all, he just perscribed more antibiotics.Will I stay like that forever? Please help!
