Q: Brown spots and rough skin post-Fraxel Restore: Normal?
A:
The response your skin is having is entirely normal. The sandpaper effect is called bronzing and is a normal occurrence. The dark spots are also normal. The pigment that you are now seeing is also a normal response. This is the damaged pigment (or photo damaged skin) raising. This is actually positive and it will more than likely result in optimal outcome.
Stay moisturized and wear sunsceen even in inclimate weather. If you experience anything you are unsure of contact the doctor or technician that provided the treatment for a follow-up.
Good luck,
