When will crusting of the skin will start after fraxel repair?

Thanks for your query. The amount of crusting depends upon the strength at which the fraxel is performed. It is absolutely okay to not have much scab. You can apply hyalugel on the scabs which can lead it to heal faster. Just apply moisturizer and proper sun block and let it heal for a while. If after 4 weeks the scabs and the pits still persists then you can consult your treating doctor. Hope it helps. All The Best

Thank you for your question!  It is unknown that Fraxel may leave indent scar. If you are concerned about potential scarring, make a follow up appointment with your provider. After Fraxel laser you may expect scabs and peeling for few weeks. It is important to moisturize your skin and use sunscreen with high SPF. Best of luck!

Fraxel is a fabulous laser to remove pigmentation and sun spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles.  Typically patients peel on day 3 to 5.  If you are concerned about scarring I would return immediately to your treating physician for examination.  Please keep us posted.  Best, Dr. Green
