It can take 2-8 weeks for redness to disappear, depending on the laser intensity used, your skin type and the number of passes done as well as the expertise of the operator. The average should be 3-4 weeks unless you were treated very aggressively. I would check with a dermatologist laser expert in your area... more
Fraxel Repair - How long does it take for skin redness to disappear?
Fraxel Repair 2 weeks in, redness not abating as quickly as I'd like.
Had this thing done about 2 weeks ago - exactly 2 weeks to the day now - and my nasal region (nasal bridge) down to nose area is very very red. I'm getting quite concerned about it sticking around much much longer post treatment and was wondering what would be the best methods available to help my skin resolve the redness? I'm considering vbeam and will be heading out tomorrow to get some emu oil if I can find it.

A: Redness from Fraxel Repair resolves in a matter of weeks
It can take 2-8 weeks for redness to disappear, depending on your skin type and the intensity of the treatment. Topical corticosteroids can be use to hasten the resolution. The Vbeam can be considered after a few weeks as well, possibly earlier depending on the case.

Hello, Same as Reddy, I am over 5 weeks out from the re:pair and I am still very red; in fact, it has really interrupted my usual life events as makeup won't cover it and makes me look...well, made up. I wish I knew when and if this will go away and the dark spots (that the bleaching cream aren't getting) will disappear. I look 10 years older and am not happy with what I have done to myself.
