Min S. Ahn, MD answers: Grid marks on forehead after Fraxel treatment

I had Fraxel Laser two days ago. I'm seeing the normal post-procedure conditions, but I'm worried about the grid-like pattern on my forehead. When will this fade, and what can I do about it?

Grid marks after either Fraxel re:store or re:pair are common and temporary. The grid marks represent the movement of the handpiece during the treatment and are completely normal. You are in the very early stages of recovery after just two days. Usually at this point after re:store, your swelling and redness is diminishing and you will start peeling for another couple days. The grida marks should fade within the next week.
