Extreme redness and blisters after Fraxel Re-store
I just had my 3rd Fraxel Re-store, settings were highest at 70%. I was warned that I would have more redness this time and maybe a little more discomfort; however, my skin looks like it's been literally burned, I have a few marks that look like blisters and under my eye where you normally would have undereye circles, it's red. Is this normal and what can I put on the blisters, will it heal or leave a scar? I'm using the Neova R2 intense cream for the redness.
