I'm scheduled in three weeks to treat my under-eye wrinkles and would like to know what to expect during the procedure. My doctor tells me that I will have 3-4 days of recuperation, and although I won't feel ill there will be some mild bleeding and redness under the eyes.
I've scheduled the procedure late on a Thursday, followed by a 3-day weekend... is this enough time? What can you tell me about Palomar Fractional Laser Resurfacing? What should I do for post-procedure treatment?
Thanks for your feedback!

Answer: What can I do to prepare for Palomar fractional laser skin resurfacing?
Yes, adding laser treatments to the hypertrophic scars can help improve both texture and tone (color). Combining this with the steroid injections will probably give you the most benefit. The steroid will break down some of the "extra" collagen while the laser treatment will help new collagen...
The 1540 fractional nonablative laser is a great option for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It also can help with acne scars. It works well. Depending on severity, several treatments may be needed.
