Redness from Fraxel Repair resolves in a matter of weeks

William Groff, DO answers: Fraxel Repair - How long does it take for skin redness to disappear?

Fraxel Repair 2 weeks in, redness not abating as quickly as I'd like.

Had this thing done about 2 weeks ago - exactly 2 weeks to the day now - and my nasal region (nasal bridge) down to nose area is very very red. I'm getting quite concerned about it sticking around much much longer post treatment and was wondering what would be the best methods available to help my skin resolve the redness? I'm considering vbeam and will be heading out tomorrow to get some emu oil if I can find it.

It can take 2-8 weeks for redness to disappear, depending on your skin type and the intensity of the treatment.

Topical corticosteroids can be use to hasten the resolution. The Vbeam can be considered after a few weeks as well, possibly earlier depending on the case.
