How long till redness from laser resurfacing goes away?

Thank you for your
question.Slight redness is to be expected post laser treatment. It is important to avoid sun exposure before and after treatments as well. I recommend following up with the provider who performed your service to discuss any concerns you may have along with additional post-care instructions. To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

I would recommend application of Plato's Scar Serum + pulsed dye laser to help with the redness after laser resurfacing. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. Redness is to be expected and can last different lengths of time depending on the treatment. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for further information on your treatment results.

  The redness from laser resurfacing can last for quite some time.  Hopefully, your doctor informed you of this possibility.  Usually, I find that it fades over two months, depending on the depth achieved, but it can last 6-12 months and persist with facial flushing.  I hope it improves for you soon.

Dear LeslieCZ,During the first few
hours and days after the procedure, there is
usually mild burning and discomfort, which feels much like a sunburn. Oral
painkillers and ice packs help control the discomfort. Please schedule a follow-up appointment with your board certified facial plastic surgeon surgeon.

If the area is still red, you should speak to your physician.  Most redness is improved by this time in my practice with vascular lasers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The redness should have resolved itself by now. Contact your physician so he can check your progress.

Sorry to hear that you are continuing to have some redness after your laser treatment.  Would contact your physician to re-evaluate.  The redness should have resolved since your treatment was two weeks ago.
