I had Fraxel Re:Store on Friday around 11am so it's alittle over two days now & my skin feels like sandpaper :( I'm still a bit swollen & red. I'm only flaking around my mouth & I have two very tiny pimples <-- really tiny! Oh and there are like tiny brown dots all over (It looks like i have dirt on my face) Is this normal? When will it start to get better? I have to work Tuesday morning & I'm scared to put make-up on even though thery tell you it's ok! Is physicians formula a good make-up?

Fraxel Laser treatment should be absolutely fine after jaw reconstruction surgery. So long as you are well healed, there is no reason not to have the procedure done. I would expect you to receive a good result from this procedure.
Good luck to you.

Both M.D. s and estheticians do fraxel work. In my office the evaluation and post- op work is done by myself, the actual lasering is done either by myself or a technicion. An esthetician can certainly do it but its nice to have a physician involved in the process to make sure all is done...
