Blisters after Fraxel
Blisters are extremely rare after either Fraxel Restore or Fraxel Repair. They can be...
1. An allergic contact dermatitis to a numbing cream used before the procedure, or topical antibiotics, such as Bacitracin, Polysporin or Neosporin/Neomycin, or other post operative creams.

What to do for Fraxel complication?
