Do Not Get This Fraxel Restore

I have had a few laser treatments when I was a lot younger for acne. They seemed to work ok but I still battle with scars & a bunch of lines & loss of fat. I wish I had before pictures but of course I’m a walking regret. It was the worse pain I have ever felt in my life - I’ll update the pictures right after the procedure. My face was swollen like I had been in a car wreck & it stayed swollen for over a week.

I did everything I was supposed to do. I went back & at first it looked like it was really going to work... Well after 6 months I started noticing lines by my mouth - & - it’s been a downhill battle. I’m going to try the microneedling to see if I can reverse some of the damage. If anyone out there has been through this then tried microneedling please respond! Thanks!

I've seen a M.D. who suggested I have fat grafting and fraxel laser to approach my problem internally and externally, but these laser reviews are giving me pause. Do you believe the laser is the cause of the fat loss?

Any luck with treatments? Has your skin improved?

You may want to check into the Morpheous8 platform. I’ve had two of three sessions and highly recommend as it seems to soften acne scarring on my cheeks. It’s Micro-needling, along with RF. Best of luck. Remember, you are your worst critic and nobody notices the scars as much as you do.

wondering how the microneedling worked out
