Had ResurFX done and am concerned about track marks

This is day 4 after treatment and I am still seeing a checkerboard pattern on my cheeks, I was wondering how long before I can expect to see these fade away

At 4 days post ResurFX it is common to see the laser
pattern on the treated skin. At this point in the healing much of the swelling
has subsided and what’s left is the red pattern. This should subside in a few
days. If you have concerns please don’t hesitate returning to your doctors for
a follow up. They can assess the area and may be able to give you a topical
product to speed the redness along.
