At the doctor's office they said to use a yellow based foundation as my skin is very fair. On the make-up websites, I see that green foundation/concealers should be used to hide redness. I asked about this and she said green foundation/concealer/mineral powder is used to hide red in photography and not used for everyday makeup. Any advice on this?

Answer: Make Up Consealer Following Laser Treatments
Hi Gail,
Fraxel is the original fractional non-ablative laser system, and has established a strong track record of solid clinical research, FDA clearances, and proven results. The safety of fractional technology has now been combined with the effectiveness of CO2 lasers.

I have done Fraxel Repair on an old scar on an upper lip area, with great results. This was a mature scar of a few years. See the before and after photo here. I don't have experience on new scars, but these are usually easier than the more mature ones.
Sleeping as upright as possible will curtail the amount of swelling. Having your neck done at the same time as your face will prolong the swelling for about 1 day. There is still some minimal swelling lasting up to a week or so.
