Prolonged Swelling After Laser Treatment. Advice?

Prolonged swelling after laser resurfacing should be evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist who is very well versed in laser resurfacing. Swelling is to be expected for at least few days after laser resurfacing; however, prolonged swelling can signify possible secondary staph or herpes infection and/or allergic contact dermatitis to emollients or cleansers utilized.

I apologize for not being clear, but did a physician peform your laser? If so, you should be seeing that individual.  If you had this done by a non-physician, I would srongly recommend you see a dermatologist.

It sounds like you might have developed a bacterial infection from what you describe and still have some subsequent swelling. The infection should be gone by now as it sounds like that is the case. The swelling could also be an allergic reaction to the medications you were using.
I would recommend you see either your physician who performed the procedure or a Dermatologist or Facial plastic surgeon to follow-up with as you may get hyperpigmentation especially with your skin type.

I agree that an allergic dermatitis from post operative creams is the most likely answer. However, a bacterial or Herpes infection cannot be ruled out. See a Board Certified Dermatologist immediately. You did not state if this procedure was done at a spa or in a physicians office.  The state of Florida now requires that a M.D. must be in the Spa (not across town or across the country) when a laser is performed by a nurse. This legislation needs to be enforced in every State to insure patient safety

I can't tell the exact sequence of events but you really need to see a professional.  You need to have someone look at your skin and tell you if  you have developed an allegic reaction to the products you are using. Swelling is reversible once you know the cause. 
Good luck.
