fractora disaster

$2,959
I finally had some improvement with clear and brilliant after 12 treatment two week apart. The skin on my cheeks are smoother and the micro scars are less noticeable. However, that being said I did have some volume loss. It's a trade off. I also did a few sub scissions for the deep scars. Not sure if I will have fraxel or not for the upper lip which has burn scars. Good luck to everyone.

The person who did the procedure realized something was wrong. She gave me a free fractora over the lip area where I still had the scars and said she would do the laser for free. She was a sweetheart but I feel I just couldn't go back to that office. Well I'm no longer just obsessing about my lip. Face Obsessed

Could you describe the volume loss in more detail?
I am so happy for you that you have finally gotten some improvement. Thank you so much for all of your posts and answers in these threads- I have read through a lot of your posts and answers.. you have helped so much, taught me a lot, and helped keep me going during this incredibly difficult skin healing journey. Please keep us posted if you find anything else that helps and if these results last from the clear and brilliant. Thank you again and take care.

Factora Microneedling with RF

I had a terrible result after Factora. My dermatologist in Beverly Hills, who didn't do the Factora, stated that she had a RF/microneedle machine which also damaged a patient's skin. She gave the machine back. She said it is hard to control the heat on these machines. My machine shorted out several times. Beware that these machines. They can damage your skin. I had 1st and 2nd degree burns.

Hello I’m currently at 44 days from Microneedling Rf and my skin is covered in burns and track marks that look like atrophic scars. Did yours ever heal? The spa says mine will heal completely within 90 days, but since they burned me, it’s hard to have confidence in them.

I just had some scars on the right side of my upper lip that I kept obsessing about. My overall skin was in great condition. No pitting acne, scars or pigmentation. The first treatment went well. The second treatment left me with 1st and 2nd degree burns which became infected. I now have scars and what looks like pitting acne all over my face. I went to my plastic surgeon and my dermatologist who said that these machines can't be controlled and my skin is so damaged that I will need laser resurfacing to improve the damage. Get this, the MD who heads the office office I went to said she didn't see anything wrong with my skin. Yea....and the Emperor wore no clothes.

Did you find a solution? This treatment scares me for this reason.
No still searching for the cure.
