Ive had a fraxel restore around 10 or so weeks ago. Im asking this because the physician wrote 6 weeks apart and when it was 6 weeks my face was still pink from laser so i went back to ask and she said i can wait till the face red/pink calm down. I ask this because i want to know what is the most time you can wait inbetween the treatment until the fraxel will become "not as effective". Its nearly 3 months now and I have not been able to take time off because I will need atleast 2 weeks recovery

Answer: Best Time Interval for Fraxel restore treatments
Hi Sparkle,
Nice to see that you are doing your homework in researching the best laser treatment for your skin. Both Fraxel repair and Lumenis AcuPulse Fractional CO2 laser are excellent laser treatments. I personally prefer and have the most experience with Fraxel repair....
Not everyone experiences peeling skin after a Fraxel re:store treatment. Some may simply experience mild swelling, redness, and warmth after the procedure, and gradually fade into the color of a mild sunburn over a few days. If you are keeping the skin moist, then it will be less likely to peel....
Dark pigmentation on the skin can be caused by genetics, hormones,
and sun exposure. I would use a carefully curated protocol of laser
therapy, fractional ablation, Covalent peels, and topical creams. The
most important step is first starting Melarase creams for at least 6 to 8
weeks.
