How Long After Fraxel Re:pair Do I Have to Wait Before I See the Full Collagen Regrowth?

Hi rber,

It takes a few weeks after Fraxel repair for the micro-laser dots to go away (depending on the magnification mirror that you are using).  Best to be patient and follow your treating physicians instructions.  Collagen production continues for about 4 to  months following Fraxel repair.  Good luck and be well.

The simple answer is that in three to six months you should be able to see collagen regrowth. That is the general time frame.

The small dots should go away within a couple of days to a week after any fractional laser treatment. As to collagen, you can see additional improvement, though usually minor, for 4-6 months after carbon dioxide resurfacing.
