The sequence outlined by Dr.Shah can be varied greatly by the settings used on the laser as well as the aftercare. We vary our aftercare depending on patient response and will often do microdermabrasion early in the recovery period to move the patient more quickly through the early healing so they can start makeup.

This is a typical course with the mixto, fraxel repair and active/deep fx. obviously it can vary. day one: swelling and mild oozing day two : reddness , swelling , oozing and itching, perhaps a little headache and pain day three: as per day three perhaps a little less intensity day four: healing occuring day five: improving and more healing occuring day five: most reddness has gone but still some swelling day seven: reddness present but less day ten: generally healed but reddness reducing day fourteen: generally improving day thirty : start noticing improvement in scars, wrinkles etc. day sixty: more improvement noticed.
