3 days post Fractora RF my skin sloughs off when I put on moisturizer. Is this normal? Will it cause scarring?

Question

I just had Fractora 3 days ago. My skin is starting to "slough off." Whenever I rub moisturizer on, or rub my face in general, I rub a lot of skin off. Is this normal? Will this peeling cause scarring?

Yes, it is normal for your skin to flake off after a fractora treatment.  Keep it moisturized real well and it should be fine in about 10-14 days after the treatment.
