How long did your Fraxel side effects last?

I had co2 fraxel laser 5 days ago and am bright red. I believe I have peeled all the skin off, but now I notice my skin is not porus and is rough. Will it soften over time? How long do these side effects last?

Wanted to let you know that Angie Walker (awalk on realself), who has helped so many people through fraxel disasters, passed away Friday night from a brain aneurism. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Wow, that is crazy about Angie Walker. Go to God, Angie. What a sweet and caring person she was, and you can tell just by reading her posts on this site. My heartfelt condolances go out to her family.
