Fractional CO2 under eyes treatment, what is the average recovery?

MandeeMarie
What is a realistic time frame for pinkness (crusting/redness gone) under eyes after a moderate intensity fractional CO2 laser treatment? I've read everything from 1 week to 6 months. That window is a bit wide and I am trying to decide when a good time to schedule my treatment for under eye crepiness would be depending on the healing factor/time. Besides Aquaphor and SPF what kinds of ointments do you prescribe to aid in healing? Thanks in advance.
