Healing from Fraxel Re:pair

I had Fraxel re:pair done 5 days ago. It's a slow healing. Read my story below and see what advice you can offer me.

I had Fraxel re:pair done last Thursday and am still miserable. How long is it usually before one looks acceptable enough to go out? I have much swelling bruising and extreme redness. Skin all peeling off brown skin. I'm using vinegar soaks and keeping Aquaphor ointment on continously. Please give more insight re: recovery and anything else I should be doing. Thank you.

At day 7-8 you should still be pink or reddish, but mineral make-up and/or skin tinted physical sun block may be used. Over the next 2 to 4 weeks your skin should return to its normal color. All of this is dependent upon the aggressiveness of the treatment, and the fine tuning of the individual laser. See... more
