I am 48 hours into DOT laser resurfacing and the redness is scary. I was told that I would be able to wear makeup about 3 days after, but my skin has not started peeling yet and doesn't feel ready to. It's still really tight (like a mask) and the redness is almost neon in color. I am using the prescribed moisture products on an hourly basis just to be comfortable. It's not burning, just not peeling and the tone underneath is so red.
Very red and tight, too early for a review on the results. I am trying to get some feedback on expectations for the procedure and hoped for result.
Is this normal and what kind of time frame can I realistically expect for the reduction of redness?This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
