Is it normal to have rough, dry skin in the treated area a week after Fraxel Dual?

tokyogirl88
I had Fraxel Dual under my eyes done a week ago from a reputable skin centre and I didn't peel. Now the treated area is quite rough/sandpaper-y to touch and looks dry. I have been applying moisturiser and cleansing gently and avoiding sun at all costs. I am very scared after reading reviews of damage and orange peel skin. What is happening? Will this improve? The treated area looks not very good, I have really soft smooth skin and did this for fine lines.
