Healing badly after Laser Genesis (Photo)

Question

7 days ago I did my first treatment with láser génesis. It was so warm almost I can’t handle the pain. It’s still healing with my nose more pink than never, irritation and swollen. Is it normal in sensitive skin like mine? How much time I have to wait for a good healing? Do you recommend any medicine or cream? And the most important question, my skin can became worst since this day?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for the photos and the pictures, it seems as though you may have sensitive skin, redness and swelling is normal after most laser treatment and can last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on the patient and the laser. I would recommend seeing your doctor for a follow up if the redness and swelling doesn't go away. I hope this was helpful, Best, Dr. Emer.

Warmth and also heat is not unusual with the laser genesis laser.  It is in fact fairly common although you should definitely mention to your surgeon when it is too hot. Your photos seem fairly within the normal expectations to me.  I expect a full recovery; continue to use your post treatment creams and I think you will have a nice result.
