I had this treatment a week ago, and although I am back at work, and wearing make-up, I'm still very red. My skin is not irritated or broken-out, just red. Can anyone tell me how long this should persist? How long is the TOTAL recovery time for the Pearl Fractional Laser?
Answer: Redness after Pearl While the peeling is normally completed within a week after the Pearl laser treatment, redness can persist longer. Usually redness can last up to several weeks depending on the intensity of the treatment.It is important to wear sunscreen and continually protect your skin from sun exposure. Also, avoid using irritating substances on your face which may contribute to redness. Using non-medicated and gentle facial cleansers and moisturizers can reduce redness and irritation.Always consult with your provider if it persists or worsens.

Answer: Redness after fractional laser although the downtime is usually only a few days, it is possible for the skin to be red for a few weeks and even up to 2 months, if the treatment was aggressive. this can usually be covered effectively with makeup. vitamin C can also help reduce redness (just make sure you don't start using it too soon after laser as to not irritate the skin). For patients considering the treatment before an event where they have to look their best, I usually suggest doing it 3 months prior.

Answer: Fractional Erbium can cause persistent redness Any fractional ablative laser can take several weeks for the redness to resolve. The skin surface should be healed by 7 days, so concealer can be worn. Patients with rosacea may have redness that lasts for months. If you have a darker skin tone, persistent redness can cause hyperpigmentation, so be sure the dermatologist who cares for your skin gives you treatment to reduce the inflammation. Be sure you are on sunscreens!
