I had non-ablative fractional laser done on my abdomen for stretch marks about a week ago. Initially it was red and inflamed, then about 3 days later it was no longer inflamed but it turned into tiny dark pinpoints all over. The area is still a little sore, so it is clearly still healing. I just want to make sure this is a normal part of the recovery and that these matrix-like dots will fade, because I assumed there was no downtime. They do feel rough, so perhaps they are tiny dots of scabs.
