Am I healing from Pearl Fractional treatment?
I had Pearl Fractional for acne scars. I am at week 4 post-op and I do not see much improvement on my scars, plus I still see dots on my face from the laser. I am also still red. I believe I had an agressive treatment and it will probably take 6 weeks for the redness to fade. It took the full 7 days for me to be ready for make up.
Am I healing as should be expected? Is it normal to still see the dot pattern from the laser at week 4 and can I be certain the dot pattern will fade?

I had the Pearl fractional laser done about 6 months ago. I would absolutely not recommend this laser to anyone. I still have the holes in my skin from the lasers and my skin has continued to be irritated and red. I wanted the treatment to help smoth out lines and reduce my melasma. My melasma has spread to 90% of my face and the holes in my skin look horrible. Again, do not get this done!!!!
