How Long Until Whiteheads Clear After Fraxel?

JessRabbit
I received my 2nd Fraxel laser treatment on Monday for pigementation and light acne scarring. My 1st treatment recovery process was normal; dry, peeling and voila done in about 4 days. The 2nd treatment recovery is much different - on day 2, tiny whiteheads started sprouting all over my chin/upper lip area and I'm now quite worried that these will cause additional scarring. What can I do to eliminate these? I have not used any heavy emollients (ie, Aquafor), simply pure aloe gel.
