Should my face be so dark 48 hrs after Fraxel Dual Laser? (photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This bronzing can last several days. I suggest speaking to your physician about what you should expect. If the 1927nm wavelength was used this would be normal. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! This is normal few days after laser. Your skin should feel rough and soon enough it will start to peel off. Please do not pick your skin. Use moisturizer and sunscreen and soon enough you will be able to see and feel your new skin. Best of luck!

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Fraxel laser is an amazing laser for sun spots, wrinkles, and fine lines.  Immediately after treatment you will be red for a few days and then by the third day your skin will appear like fine sand paper and flake off.  It is essential not to peel off this flaking skin and just moisturize and apply sun block.  Please consult an expert in Fraxel for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

This is a normal appearance after skin resurfacing with Fraxel. The darkening will resolve in the next few days. It is important to keep your skin moist and not to scrub, rub or pick at the skin. Soon enough you will be able to enjoy your Fraxel results!
