I Am a Nurse- I Would Not Do This Again - Victoria, BC

I had Fraxel restore dual on Thursday last week, along with Mixto to remove a few small growths on my face. It is now Monday. I have to say that I had very good skin with no melasma or acne prior to treatment. The reason I did it was for tightening of the skin and the Dr recommended this would help. Yikes, I would not recommend this.The itching post treatment drove me snakey and I have rough patches and small acne spots all over at this point. It doesn't appear infected but it doesn't look good. There is mild peeling starting. If you already have good skin, DON'T DO THIS.Stick with Retin A at night and Cellex C in the a.m. and be happy with what you have. I repeat, don't do this and mess up your skin even more.I would not even consider further treatment.
Sorry to hear you didn't feel Fraxel was worth it. Since you mentioned the peeling is just starting I'm guessing you are still in the healing process. Will you please keep us updated as you heal?
