Question

Is ongoing tingling in face Normal 5 weeks after fraxel laser? Should I consider seeing a neurologist for nerve damage ??

Thanks for your query. No it’s not normal to get tingling and burning sensation 5 weeks after fraxel. My advice to you is to visit your treating physician as soon as possible and discuss the matter. Hope it helps.All The Best

We use a specific protocol of exfoliation, hydration, and moisturization along with protection after laser treatments. I suggest consult an expert to help you. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! Loss of pigment is not common after Fraxel and it is not normal what you are experiencing five weeks after the treatment. I would suggest you to make a follow up appointment with your provider asap and if s/he doesn’t provide you adequate aftercare and treatment, I would suggest you to change your provider. Best of luck!

I would followup with your provider/physician. While I have never seen hypo pigmentation with Fraxel it is possible that the tingling and burning maybe the result of a skin infection or some other skin condition. It is best that an experienced provider evaluate your skin during an in-person consultation.
