Brown Spots and Rough Skin Two Days After Fraxel re:store

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Brown spots and rough skin post-Fraxel Restore: Normal?

It has been 2 days since my first Fraxel Restore treatment. My face feels like sandpaper and has a pattern of tiny brown spots on it. Is this normal, and will this go away?

Hi Maureen,

It is normal to have rough skin and tiny brown spots two days after Fraxel re:store.  At about the third to fourth day you should notice a fine powdery peeling of these spots and rough skin.  By the seventh day your skin should feel back to normal. Keep your skin well moisturized and avoid direct sun exposure.  Use your sun block.  Good luck with your healing and be well.
