I had this treatment ten months ago and my skin was also ruined. I have just finished ten sessions of Omnilux red and white light LED treatments and the texture seems slightly better. Have you had fat loss as well? That is the worst problem now. My entire face shape has changed and I look so much older and haggard. I'm going to look into getting fillers shortly.

Thank you for asking, yes much fat loss on face. Makes me look lopsided. I know as you, this was a huge mistake. I hope the best for you as well. I will have to look into research on the light therapy, sounds promising. The laser holes are also a real problem. It makes my skin have orange peel texture. Pretty depressing, but trying diffrent peels, and eating more fruits/veggies. I will see what happens.

Keep us posted on your efforts! I am also dealing with major textural changed from the fraxel laser. My skin looks just like yours as a matter of fact. It's hard to decide how to treat this because with every method of treatment there is an element of risk. All the best to you!

Hoping for the best for you and everyone that is going through the same. I will try to update if I get any good results.

I had this done also at skin spectrum and saw some of the same results. Did they offer anything to help resolve your issue?

I got the same thing from fraxel restore.

Last remarks of resurfx laser experience

_Ny1977
I want to reinforce that this was my personal experience and does not reflect on any particular person. It's a decision that must be weighed with deep consideration and education before the risk of any plastic surgery. That being said yes my exeperince was not good, and today I just come to the conclusion that I have to keep a positive outlook. Who you are on the outside dosent reflect the inside. I'm sure I wouldn't ever do this procedure or recommend it again. My face is swollen, and left with an indenting marks where the laser pased several times. I am continuing my aloe Vera regimine as it is my only releif at this time. I will stay out of the sun for another week just to make sure my skin heals more. I won't give anymore updates because it really won't make a diffrence. People have to learn from mistakes, as did I. So hope everyone finds the peace and happiness they crave but remember its only temporary. Be happy with what you are, who you are, and be kind to others who are less fortunate.
Thank you

I had a similar experience at skin spectrum. I had a blue peel and I told the doctor just wanted on my face and before she left the office she added on my new what was left out. I immediately noticed the burn on my neck but the doctor told me it was normal but recommended Resurfx (More $ spent). I now have brown spots on my neck. I then purchased a Groupon voucher 3 facials for $99 and had 1st facial (1hour, includes massage) with Raquel Alkali. I bought pricy products (she didn't put pressure for me to buy her products) from her but they're natural and feel pretty good about them. I will now put myself on Raquel ' s hands. I was going to give skin spectrum another chance but after reading your experience, I'm canceling the appt I have for today. I've been their customer for about 3 years now and I haven't seen much improvement on my face comparing to the $ I have spent with them.

Well said. For the record, your words matter. I was considering this procedure but am not any longer. Thank you for sharing your story.

Day 4 resurfx nightmare

_Ny1977
Still have burning feeling sides of face/neck/chest. The forehead is the only part that looks somewhat back to being better. I still have raised track marks on sides of face and neck/chest where it looks like I got it the worst. Only doing aloe Vera and put some neosporin as it looks and feels like I was burned! I am afraid to go in public, as I looked at myself and saw this monster skin looking back at me in the mirror! Never will I trust a tech, nor a Dr. Who doesn't perform the procedure. Only would go to one who actually does it and recommends it.
