I had fraxel yesterday morning and was left with this burn mark. I had asked the doc to be careful on the settings and still this happens! Is it normal? Will it subside? When and what can I do?
Answer: Burn After Fraxel This is a burn likely from excessive heating in the area. My suggestion is to use bioshield with aquaphor for 7-10 days. Keep the area moist and sunprotected, it will heal fine. The nose heals very well without scarring or pigment change the majority of the time. I suggest seeing your physician if you are worried. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Melarase after Fraxel laser Fraxel lasers and chemical peels can cause unwanted discloration and pigmentation if not performed conservatively. After melasma laser or chemical peels; the following protocol is advised: Elevase Moisture Booster: Twice daily application of Elevase Moisture Booster to help hydrate chapped, sensitized, and dry skin after treatment. Apply liberally on the treated area and reapply if you are experiencing persistent dryness.Melarase AM + Melarase PM: Once the skin has healed over and the peeled, apply Melarase AM in the morning and Melarase PM in the evening to help reduce abnormal pigmentation or PIH. Melarase creams can help maintain a smooth complexion and should be used for at least several months (Note: one bottle contains one month supply).Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Burn Marks Post Fraxel This is a burn from most likely too much energy being delivered to that area of the skin. I would immediately suggest that you contact your physician and get in there to let him/her see this and to determine a proper treatment plan so that you avoid a scar in that area. There are some wound dressings that work well here and there are several creams that can be used to help heal the area faster than leaving it alone. We recommend that all of these procedures be performed by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and that the post-operative care be meticulously spelled out and followed and if there are any concerns that the physician evaluate the patient and recommend the proper treatments to avoid later complications.
