So I have terrible pigment after all the Fraxel treatments and the clear and brilliant, I'm only 32 and feel my skin took a dive from these. I'm getting cosmelan Friday but I advise anyone away from my type of Fraxel laser.

After clear + brilliant
rocketship13January 8, 2015
I would say that everything I have done has reduced the pores significantly! I have had 4x clear + brilliant and I want to do a TCA next. Persistence is key, and I continue to educate myself on skin. I need to be healthier and drink more water also, but I definitely see improvement. I also use a glycolic acid 20% cream on & off, along side serums etc. I use emu oil and coconut, and am ordering tallow balm too! Hemp oil is also suppose to be great, but I'll always love my peels (Aha's & BHA's) and medicated products.

It's amazing how complicated skin care can be, I am always trying something new! I love coconut oil, one of my favorite things to use both topically and internally. I always add it to smoothies as I believe the better you take care of the insides it will reflect on the outside. Hemp is amazing, I use both hemp oil and protein powder in my smoothies. I have used creams with hemp and it's very soothing. Check out the Peels community and feel free to share your own story.

Sadly the hyperpigmentation I got from the fraxel treatments I had just come up stronger as soon as sun touched my face!! Despite layers of strong sunscreen. The texture is good & back to normal but the pigment is bad now :(

One of the top dermatologist here prescribed me beta-white+tyrostat+melanostaine-5 cream to apply lightly at night without rubbing or massaging. I started apply from yday. Also shield 40 sunscreen 3 times a day @ 8am, 11 am and 3 pm..absolutely loved the sunscreen. Will update if I notice any change..but I m really really happy for you, myself n many others that your texture is normal now. I had my 3rd pixel in Jan 15 and I started noticing enlarged pores on forehead from last week and I was scared to death after reading terrifying experiences which made me sleepless n depressed until I read your post in the morning. I hope i will get good sleep today. I paid for 4 pixels but I decided I won't go for 4th one and after great great difficulty got appointment with top dermatologist few days back. He prescribed me new course and asked me to come after 2 months and said they are various option to treat acne scars...fingers crossed :)

To add to above beta-white+tyrostat+melanostaine-5 cream is for hyper pigmentation

Hi what good news your skin texture is better! How long ago did you have them? I have decided to save money and see Dr.Rawlins in Perth for dermabrasion and Recell, I have spoken to someone who had laser damage and is currently healing from the procedure. I have far deeper damage but I hope it will at least offer some normality to my skin.

Yes but I have horrible hyperpigmentation all over my cheeks, my nose, my top lip, my forehead. Make up won't cover it, and I'd prefer clear skin with the holes again than the pigmentation. I look aged and dirty.

Did mild laser ever do anything to help with the texture? I got the orange peel a few years ago from Profractional. One of the docs I saw for the texture wanted to do a lower level laser to fix it but that bothered me since it was a laser that messed me up in the first place. How has it gone? Did anything at all help you with your texture problem?
