Fraxel in very early pregnancy (>6 weeks)

szahn75
I got fraxel laser treatment for hyperpigmentation on my face when I Didn't know I was pregnant. I would have been about 8 or 9 days past ovulation. The baby was probably implanting around the day of, or a couple of days before, the procedure. I read that the baby isn't sharing nutrients that across the placenta with the mother until another 3-4 weeks later. To how much risk have I exposed my baby?
