Hi Perm,
Time should take care of the pattern. Be patient as there is not much to do, but it should quickly fade. Follow your treating physician's instructions, and keep your skin well moisturized and sun block protected.
Did you have Fraxel by Reliant or another laser company's fractionated laser? If Fraxel, was it re:pair, re:store, or re:fine?
Fraxel by Reliant is the only laser technology that is applied to the patient's skin in a continuous rolling motion similar to a wall paper roller. All other laser technologies on the market use a "stamping" application. The stamping pattern has a higher incidence of noticeable "grid patterns".
We now use a 50% overlap technique when applying Fraxel laser and have found that problems like yours have disappeared. Good luck and be well, enjoy your new fresh skin.
