CO2 laser resurfacing need to go back to work before the one week mark - what can I do?

May 6, 2019
Asked By:Jojarna in Miami, FL

I had full ablative CO2 on my face four days ago, washing my twice a say and using Aquaphor. I have not started to peel and face is very red but no longer swollen. I planned to take one week off but due to a car accident two of my colleagues have passed away and I need to go back to work. What do I do? Suncream on top of the Aquaphor? Called my dermatologist but he is on holidays until the end of the week and the nurse was not sure what is the best.
