Were you on retinoid to prep the skin? I had the same appearance of lines but I attributed my case to tretinoin not rf.

Cicaplast balm, light skincare and no retinols/retinoid helped me. Took a long time for me, a year.

I've been working on my damaged skin (tretinoin) for about a year now. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm was the most useful addition I've added. It did more healing in a month than I had see the previous...

Definitely worst ever, untreatable unfortunately. But for real this lighting shows no scars and some redmarks.

Please don't do 50% tca or cross at home. I'm really advising against it. I've never seen worse outcomes here than at home TCA cross, and it sucks because I've seen beautiful results by professionals....

I was considering this but now I'm considering ablative erbium instead. I've heard from one user that TotalFX was one of the better treatments they had, and there is a recent topic from another user t...

I'm not healed all the way but my skin did look just like that. There are older threads on here discussing the issue with retinoid damage and they seem similar. I felt like my skin was inflamed. My sk...

Hello, this actually happened to me without laser from aggressive use of tretinoin. Have you been using retinoid the past 11 months? Does your skin have a burning sensation or just have the sheen appe...

This gave me some good laughs and I'm so happy to hear about the improvements you've had over the years. I wish you a speedy recovery and many months of healing results. I think we underestimate how l...

I've only had Halo. It's very safe and offered minor improvement, but too expensive for the results. It's not going to make a difference to anything with any depth. I'm getting fractional co2 early...

One pass at a deeper setting? I had three passes done with Genius each session but I suppose only 1 pass was deep. My surgeon definitely did spot treatment in addition to the three passes. Sounds l...

It looks like a good session. Don't be afraid of laser because of the initial appearance. The skin quickly heals and within a week or so it'll start to look normal. You'd be amazed at your ability to ...

Definite improvement. Scars are more shallow and your skin tone is looking even and healthy. I have the same hair color and skin tone. I'm getting fractional total fx co2 in May. I think a co2...

Time is the most important element. It takes a long time to heal. I wouldn't start worrying until you're 1 full year out. 1 full year out and start limiting harsh exfoliation the whole time. Second el...

That happened to me as well with tretinoin and it's still healing. I've seen people suffer the same from tretinoin and laser on this board. I've been using a thick cream from avene called cicalfat...

You have to treat the scars and treat your mind which has been disturbed by the experience. I don't give up but I'll be damned if I say this isn't a struggle. @JudgmentPuzzleheaded You have to keep...

It's a good thing he's wrong? I've never heard a woman talk about hand/wrist size, and everything else is out of order or less important than guys think. Height is less important than guys think if...

I don't think it's a simple decision. I want to be honest with my view on it. The final RF results might not be what you desire. Maybe it will but it's up to how far you're looking to try and spend. Y...

Yes, that's exactly my scar pattern as well. It's up to your funds, the amount of time you want to spend on this, and how much improvement you're striving for in my experience. RF is expensive and...
