How Long Does It Take for Skin Redness to Disappear After Fraxel Re:Pair?

It can take 2-8 weeks for redness to disappear, depending on your skin type and the intensity of the treatment.
Topical corticosteroids can be use to hasten the resolution. The Vbeam can be considered after a few weeks as well, possibly earlier depending on the case.

Thank you for your question. After a series of 2 to 4 Fraxel treatments, the cumulative cosmetic improvement is near more aggressive lasers, but unlike more aggressive lasers, redness and swelling is eliminated within 2 to 4 days after each treatment. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with the doctor who performed the treatment so he or she can assess the redness. Best of luck.

This will depend on the patient's Fitzpatrick skin type and how aggressive a treatment the patient had done.  Patient's with red hair and lower Fitzpatrick skin types will tend to remain red longer than those with higher Fitzpatrick skin types.  

We recommend post laser continued consultation with the treating physician after laser therapy to tweak the skin care and optimize the outcome.  Topical steroid creams can help.  Early avoidance of caustic skin care products with irritants such as antioxidants or acids also helps.  We recommend early treatment with mist therapy to hydrate the skin and quicken the recovery period.  One product which has been very helpful is SkinMedica Redness Relief Calmplex.

Regardless, the post laser erythema (redness) can persist for up to 3 to 6 month and will vary drastically from patient to patient.
