Has Anyone Experienced a Crusty Brown Scabbing After Fraxel?
I got fraxel laser done on my entire face on Friday morning, it is Sunday afternoon and I still have extensive swelling all over my face, but more concerning to me is that my whole face has turned a crusty brown colour and is one big scab. I'm not sure what to do and it doesn't sound as if this is a normal reaction. Has anyone had this kind of experience and how long should I expect it to last? I was told I would be able to return to work Monday but there is no chance at this stage. I'm actually a bit scared.

The redness will typically persist for several months but can easily be concealed with make-up. We recommend a product called Glo-Mineral make-up. Be sure to wear a sunblock while you are have redness to your skin to prevent a condition where the skin can darken (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)....
