I had co2 laser 2 years ago and had hyperpigmenation afterwards. I received fraxel 3 days ago to correct some of the melasma. Is it normal to look tan? How long does that last? By the way, I am Asian.

Answer: Fraxel laser treatments Bronzing of the skin can occur about four days after Fraxel laser treatment and it then flakes off. It is very important to avoid sun exposure after the Fraxel laser, especially if you have melasma. You will probably need to use lightening products. Follow your dermatologist's recommendations for maintenance treatment.

Answer: Skin darkening after Fraxel Post procedure the skin is inflamed and irritated due to the resurfacing. In darker skin types including Asian skin, inflammation can appear dark or hyperpigmented. When treating dark spots such as freckles and even melasma, an immediate darkening can be noticed before healing is complete. Also, there can even be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation where tanning can be noticed after wound healing but will go away with time. Sun protection and bleaching agents such as hydroquinone can help shorten the course. Hope this helped.
