Questions about holes and ablative fraxel repair? 3 weeks post op.

July 8, 2018
Asked By:Caroline Jane in New York, NY

I had fraxel repair done by one of the country's finest dermatological laser surgeons 3 weeks ago at a medium level and I am worried because I have a clear grid pattern and obvious tiny holes over my whole face. I am itchy and still very red and swollen. I had fraxel dual 3 times 8 years ago and remember similar concerns and the skin eventually smoothed over to a beautiful texture. Will someone please explain how these holes will fill in and smooth over and this grid like pattern fade?
