Pixel laser - Recovery after high-setting treatment
Is a lot of brown crusting occurring immediately after Pixel treatment normal? The nurse told me it was normal but she also told me she used the highest setting which really got me scared. I'm afraid that I am permanently scarred!
If this is normal how long should it take to go away? I've read lots of user reviews and have not seen that anyone has had the crusting (at least to the extent that I have) it is on most of my face, darker around temples and cheeks. HELP!!

I do not know when this question was posted, but I had the pixel (very aggressive) done thursday. It is now saturday. I have been in so much pain and look terrible. Very dark brown/red and tiny blisters. It stings bad when I use the aquaphor provided, but it's way too dry and itchy without. I've tried other mild moisturizers, but that makes it worse. Was this normal for you? When did it all peel off?
