Hello,
i wanted to update my review about scarring caused by fraxel dual and a wrong provider. I tried a lot of thibgs to fix the damage: microneedling at home with pen, picosure focus laser, erbium yag-nothing helped, everything got worrse. because auf my turkish skintype fitzpatrick 4, a lot of derms didnt recommend the co2. so i lived depressive with no self esteem, since i found a provider in düsseldorf. i got 4 sessions of fractional co 2 alma pixel lasers at high setting, the recovery was about 5 days…..i am soooo happy with my result! please dont give up and find a good provider. good luck to everyone!!

It means the Fraxel procedure is not at fault - but you got a bad laser surgeon - is that right?

No- the machines cause damage to your healthy skin cells and it can be even worse if a doctor misuses it. Which many of them do. Check out Angela Walker's story.

Have you considered Fractora? I live in Canada and it's available here, vielleicht jetzt auch in Deutschland. It wored very well on me when I had the 1st treatment in late May of 2015: I had 15-year-old scars from the same type of laser procedure that you received. After only 1 Fractora treatment the scars were 95% better: I just had my 2nd Fractora procedure 6 days ago and already the results are amazing. You are a very beautiful woman, you deserve to FEEL beautiful inside, too. Perhaps seek out 5 or so different professional opinions, do the research on what is recommended, then choose what is best for you. All I can say is that Fractora was like a MIRACLE for me!

I have similar scars from Fraxel, and I was treated at the facility (Solta/Thermage) that owns the technology. It was a huge mistake and mine have appeared 5-6 years after the procedure. Good luck to you, best wishes. It sucks, and I have much empathy.

Hi, I am so sorry you are suffering due to money hungry, unscrupulous "doctors" and dangerous technology. I feel your pain, having been severely damaged by one Fraxel treatment. Here's what I know, your face has been damaged and needs time to heal. You will have a very hard time finding a doctor who will admit the damage was done, as many of them stick together, and won't call out another so called professional. You need to do your own research and start treating your face naturally. Stay away from further laser treatments and other unnatural procedures. Start taking Vitamins and Omega 3 supplements. Also, consider using Rosehip Seed Oil to start healing your skin and softening your laser induced scars. Also, once your skin has healed a bit, look into using a good quality Vitamin C serum. Apart from that, use a non oil based moisturizer, and a very good quality sun block. If you are a person of faith, cast your burdens on God and ask Him to heal you.
I will pray for you. You WILL get better! God bless you.

Guys, I had fractional laser twice at the start of last year. Until a week ago I was certain they had given me vascular treatment, which I wanted. I finally understand where these tear patches come from. I had flawless porcelain skin with some mild Rosacea, which I intended to address by means of lasers. I wish I could come back in time and take different decisions in December 2014.

Thanks for the post - I see so many complaints about Fraxel I worry if I should get for my scar. For you though, I think you worry too much because you look so closely at your scar and focus on it. As a man I can tell you, it's not that noticeable - you are still stunningly beautiful and I would love to have you on my arm. :) So don't worry, and good luck.

Derby dude, why would you consider getting Fraxel after hearing about all of this negative stuff? Take these reviews seriously!
