Does Fraxel on the chest area heal quicker? Do I keep Aquaphor cream on it until it’s done peeling? (Photos)

Question

William Groff, DO · Answer

The skin on your chest is very thin and therefore takes longer to replenish itself after Fraxel. Absolutely follow all of your doctors’ post-treatment recommendations. Your skin is very vulnerable right now to sun damage and infection. Be sure to consult your board-certified dermatologist so that you know your healing is progressing well.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I suggest the proper skin care and PRP at this time to help you heal.  Also at home LED would be very useful. I combine all of our laser treatments with microneedling, PRP, and stem cells to improve your color, texture, and tone along with the healing process.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

For all Fraxel laser treatments, especially for CO2- RePair follow up is essential. Your Specialist would have informed you that the chest area often takes 10 to 16 days to heal up, much longer than the face. Wound care, and prevention of infection and itch is essential. Each specialist has their own protocols, Please revisit yours for follow up, close monitoring is advisable. The Fiori Institute.
