Fraxel Re-Store Day 6 Photos
Fraxel Re-Store Day 6
Hey everyone,
Not feeling too good about anything today. I accidently peeled off a little skin on my nose because it was so soft trying to pop the whitehead that formed on the right side of my nose. It's pretty red. I think it will be okay though. My nose is already really red from fraxel repair in the past which (3 years ago) to get rid of the same scar. I don't know how people do fraxel on their whole face. Fraxel is so terrfying in how it can absolutely ruin your skin. I'm doing it because I am desperate to get rid of my scar so am only doing it on a small portion but I would never let anyone do it to my whole face without scars I'm trying to fix.
My arm is still so red. The blister is completely drained so it is just dead skin lying around. I am going to stop putting vaseline on my arm and just let it scab over so I can remove the dead skin. I think the vaseline has served its purpose their and that dead skin could just stay on my arm for a while if I maintained it.
Scar under right areola is just the same still.
It will be a full week on wednesday and I really hope that everything has peeled off at that point. I am getting very sick of this recovery process...

Fraxel Re-Store Day 5
Basically no changes from yesterday.
Nose
- I think it's looking better and better. The redness seems to be going away a little more but barely any. I still have a lot of white heads from the laser and vaseline which is clogging up my pores.
Arm
- I woke this morning with the vaseline pretty much wiped off. Because it was sitting without it for a few hours, the floppy excess skin from the previous blister was becoming darker looking like it was about to form a scab. The blister is basically empty of fluid now and is just extra dead skin. Because of the amount of vaseline I'm keeping on it, it is not scabbing up. I heard that it's good to prevent a scab but I'm also not exactly sure how its going to get removed unless it scabs up and falls off. Regardless, I will continue to put vaseline on it until at least the red dots are flaked off completely.
Right Areola
- No changes...Nothing exciting
