Not Sure
Spent: $1,200 in Illinois

I had fraxel laser over my entire face 8 passes, I am quite red but no crusting or anything like that just very bright red. When would you start the obgi? & what can I do to help with the bright redness?

At what point after the Fraxel laser treatment would you start on the obgi & Retin A?

My Doctor: Name not provided

It's really too soon to tell, but I am hoping for the best!

how long ago did you had the Fraxel done? And by obgi you mean obagi? Retin A you have to wait 1 week. Obagi 3-4 days. I had my first Fraxel 4 weeks ago and my skin looks and feels fab! You will love the results, give it time. Do NOT scratch and use aloe vera 100% gel, that stuff works great!Hope that helped.

According to my Doctor, you cannot start Obagi again for two weeks post treatment.
