I had Fraxel of the face and hands 4 days ago and my face is peeling looking good but my hands are not. They still feel rough. Does it take longer for hands?

Answer: Yes, takes extra 3-4 days. Hand and extremities take a little longer to heal. This will also depend on factors such as the type of Fraxel (1927 - 15550- RePair). Like Dr Emer I ask patients to gently exfoliate in the shower at day 4-5 after laser. The use of a moisturiser 2-3 times a day will also help, and remember to keep out of the sun.
