More visible wrinkles after Fraxel. Can I still be swollen?

March 19, 2016
Asked By:chagos in Fall River, MA

Under my eyes seems to have more wrinkling and lines 2 weeks after my laser treatment and I'm still extremely dry, and my festoons seem much worse. Is that because my skin is a bit thinner right now, can I be still swollen?
