Will my face be permanently red from Profractional and Halo lasers?

Question

I have a Profractional laser treatment for my under eyes and Halo laser for the rest of my face scheduled soon. If I even pick at a zit, my skin tends to stay red for quite some time. Will my face be permanently red from the lasers?

Andrew Campbell, MD · Answer

Any redness from the treatment should resolve with normal healing. On another note, I see no reason to get a ProFractional treatment at all. I have found that the Halo will give just as good or better results without all the weeping you get from a ProFractional laser.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

Thank you for your question!No it will not be. Your face will go through the normal healing process post laser treatment and become more resilient likely after treatment. Be sure to follow your pre and post care protocols to ensure excellent results as well as seeing a board certified physician for your treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.
