Never Thought a Non-ablative Fraxel Restore Laser Could Do This to my Skin

hmm sounds like we're on the same boat. do you have your pictures? how long did you scab? i definitely wouldn't continue my fraxel treatment. looking for tca peels (but my face easily flush and i'm afraid it won't scab off perfectly again leaving indented scars) or dermarolling (no microneedling for sure but not sure if any doc still perform dermarolling nowadays)

allot of people have this issue look up laser damage and you will see lots of people who still have not recovered years later. be gentle with your skin because it has been severely damaged

yes, i'm at the point of instead of being panicked and stressed out, i try to see the bigger picture and being grateful with what i've had. this is my second time scarring, so it's on top of my first scars in a much bigger form. not socializing, crying out etc, been there , done that and looking back, now i won't waste my time just doing that. yes i need to put on makeup everytime i go out but good thing noone seems to notice the scar (perhaps they just think i'm just having a breakout lolz). i would definitely look for ways to improve it and try to accept though very hard that it might not be completely healed but i guess with all the rush-in actions, it could make it worse or prolong the healing process instead of improving it :)

Hello. I am sorry to read your experience but looking at your skin is exactly like looking at my own face. How is everything with you now?

well this happened to me as well i healed it with heavy moisturizing and juicing, avoiding sugar and processed foods and positive thinking. best moisturizers are the baby dermatologist approved moisturizers. i had good results with avocado oil fresh cucumber and potato skin for toning and tightening the skin. be extreme careful over the counter products because it can do more harm then good

I don’t think she know how to deal with my skin. I am wrecked. Or she’s scared to make it worse with treatment. I kept asking her about the squiggly lines, dents and holes. She was just worried about making the redness go away. I’m gonna wait one more week and see what she says. She started to mention laser and I was like not in a million years. I could tell they felt sorry for me. But if she has no good news next week, I’ll just try another.

It’s not ok. Think she was worried about making it worse

Sorry , I wasn't meaning to deny your reality , I just see skin on your face and I don't have anything but a translucent film of wax so I'm preoccupied with having skin again . I know it's horrible, we are trapped in nightmares . The progression is awful. I had a full face and my chin and jaw line have completely changed and the shape and contour is gone , looked through photos a lot to prove myself wrong but you can feel it first, it's so sudden you feel weird like your chin is not right and something is touching it on the sides . Anyways, I started scarring really bad and 2 months out, has your progression stopped ? Definitely don't do anymore laser . If your face still hurts don't do anything , not even facials . I saw a really good derm and she said leave it alone for 6 months , nothing . Wish I started that at thr beginning . Someone else here had fillers and their face went crazy again , our skin is chsnged permanently , if light hits me the area turns black immediately . Yes they stick to the redness to avoid the dents, scars etc . Same exact thing happened to me , but my derm is a monster , did a lot worse than that , fabricated . The good derm I saw said there is nothing else but laser down the road and even thrn can be a disaster , you can't put texture back . I hate all the likes go texture like someone took a blade to my face and thrn put waxy creatures on the surface with dimension . It's consuming my life . Try to let others know before you try anything . Sometimes we want to be better so bad we don't think straight . So sorry for what happened to you . My acupuncturist kept saying why are these machines not banned , other counties harmful devices and medications get banned and there is widespread public notification .

the session costs me around SGD600. i heard about calvin chan but instead going to dr joyce. i think both have good exposure as good doctors so i'm pretty surprised with my result. do you experience flaking? if you do how long before it completely scabbed off? and how long does the redness stay?

well it's not only redness but the criss cross tracks and burnt like texture and newly formed indented scar. trust me with laser or other heat induced treatments, you're putting your skin at risk of burnt or even worst, loss of fat. please see other victims like me in this forum. if you don't experience it, you might not believe it yet.

ah thanks but it's really due to lightning and angles. can't get the same one each time taking the picture.

Hi Mc2015 when will your products be available? What is the name of them and where can l buy? Thanks
