It has been about 4 months and the redness comes and goes but right now I can barely cover it with makeup. Is there anything that will help reduce the redness?
Answer: Vbeam laser can help defuse redness left behind Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Redness not resolving 4 months following laser skin resurfacing Thank you for sharing your question. Sometimes topical steroids or PRP help to alleviate the redness. See a laser specialist who is also an eyelid specialist for detailed evaluation and guidance. Good luck,

Answer: Redness after laser resurfacing around the eyelids Prolonged redness following laser resurfacing of the eyelids is not uncommon. I would recommend topical arnica, and oral arnica. There are sublingual formulations that slip under the tongue, this will help. In severe cases, IPL may help reduce some of the redness. Be absolutely sure that you have great eye protection during this if your expert recommends it. Otherwise, time is your friend. Avoiding extreme exertion will help during the healing process.

Answer: Redness following laser resurfacing Redness may last for up to 6 months following heavy laser resurfacing, especially after CO2 laser. Treatments such as low level laser, IPL and vascular laser can help to reduce the redness over the next few months. Your specialist who performed the procedure can assist you. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
