5 treatments recommemded. Damage caused by 5th. Do not recommend Fraxel, not worth the agony of the damage it caused.

I believe the doctor new of the damage she was causing but continued. After realizing the extent of the damage she had done, she stopped the session short and charged me $400 and said the machine was broken.

Session one showed great results. I should of stopped with that one. :(

Have you seen any doctors recently that are willing to help?

There is a great dermatologist in Atlanta named Dr. Harold Brody. He is old school but I think he could help.

Hi to all who have posted under dee1016 in regards to laser damage. As much as I despise my face, I have decided to add a few pictures of what the Fraxel has done to my face. It's sad to say that this is 3 years later and it's only gotten worse with time. I wish there were a miracle cure to make it all go away, I've tried many creams and have gotten many consults and still no solution. The Consults only resulted in them suggesting more laser. NO WAY!! Are they nuts? to even think that I would subject myself to more heat, that cold possibly produce more damage; they just want to pad their pockets. Beware to all. Don't believe all the hype when it comes to these procedures, it doesn't pay off in the long run. Learn to love yourself as you are. I would've preferred to live with the few acne scars and little discoloration than to live with what is my outcome now. Picture are to follow.

I am so sorry for what happened to you its so sad...I only had one fraxel dual and stopped as I started to see my skin not recovering properly after one month: dots, orange peel texture, waxy feel... and reading all the bad reviews on the site and I cancelled my second appointment. One person on the site said her skin improved with fat transfer not sure what's the medical term...hope that helps..

Thanks for you comments. Can you give out the name of your doctor and exactly what went wrong. I have had one Fraxel treatment and everything seems fine...so far!
