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?
Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

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

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

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.
