Had my first fractora treatment today. My main concerns were pitted acne scars from picking at my acne when I was younger, I also have a lot of hyper-pigmentation. I still have occasional hormonal breakouts which the doctor said the treatment would help with that as well, anyways, I’d rate the pain 8/10 even with local anesthesia and topical numbing cream. The doc recommended 3 treatments 4 weeks apart to see a drastic difference, I hope so but time will tell, I’ll keep updating
First two pictures are before the treatment

a doctor did it. i do see less breakouts over all. i don’t see a change in my pores either but honestly that’s he least of my concerns, I did the treatment specifically for my acne scares. I’ll pay more attention at my pores on the next treatment I get and ill update on that.

How are you progressing? Your skin is very similar to mine and I got August 3rd for first treatment. I’ve heard super mixed reviews on this.

I did not see any good change in my pitted scares and mind it I did three very deep treatments. The wry last one I had to be Sedated bc the pain is unbearable. My skin at this paint(over a month of recovery) is left with a weird texture , almost like all the holes from the needles never healed. I personally don’t recommend his treatment for my type of scares, I will say that my acne breakouts have stoped which is why I’m not totally mad about all the money I spent. If ya have anymore question I will be more than happy to answer, have a good one and good luck(:
Solutions please

Hello. I had the sticon microlaser peel done 2 weeks ago for my acne scars. It’s left me with pitted gridmarks and burn marks. My doctor says they’ll heal in about a month. Did your grid marks ever heal? Did you have indented burn marks as well? If so, did those heal? I literally think about this every moment I’m awake. Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like the doc used a strong setting for your skin, I would wait to see the final results tho. Good luck

It’s been a week since my first fractora treatment. I’ve noticed a change in my scares. Don’t know if it’s bc my skin is still plump/swollen from the treatment,I still have two more sessions to go to see if the treatment is worth it or not but I’ll keep taking pics from diff lightings..................

How long did it take for your skin to go back to normal after the procedure?

Over all for all the scabs to go away like a week and two days. For the needle marks idk yet I am on my last treatment and waiting to heal completely before I make a final decision and review on if it works or not.

It’s been a month since my third and last fractora treatment, I wish I had good news but sadly there were no improvement whatsoever !! I had three deep treatments and I feel like my skin looks worst then before. I don’t recommend this treatment if our trying to improve pitted acne scares.

oh, so sorry to hear that. I just had it last night. I didn't have wounds like most of the posters I saw on their pics. My face just had like bad sunburn that was so red and all. This morning when I woke up, the redness subsided dramatically. Super early to tell if mine improved or became worse as it has only been 15 hrs. My doctor told me that I would love the result and her assistant told me that it was addicting and that all their patients have had good results. Well, I will see that myself in the next few days, weeks or months. For now, my face looks normal with just some darkening. I was told I needed two sessions although I am not sure if I would go for the next as the pain while under the procedure was totally unbearable! Its only the forehead where I felt it was very tolerable and the rest felt like hell!

Hi! Has your skin improved as it has been 4 months since you last posted?

Sorry there were absolutely no results considering I did 3 treatment and deep. Pitted scares are hard to treat but I was at least hopeful for some improvements. My skin actuality got worst, to me seems like the scares got deeper and my skin texture changed as well. I would honestly not recommend this treatment.

Did you ever find anything that helped? I just had the same experience and just want my skin back to where it was before I did this procedure
