I had an agressive Erbium laser resurfacing combined with non ablative Erbium laser 2 weeks ago. The settings were high and I had a week downtime, so it wasn't a superficial treatment. I know the results improve over time, but is it normal that there's no improvement in fine lines whatsoever at this stage?
