Had ResurFX done and am concerned about track marks

Question

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

Maki Goskowicz, MD · Answer

It is normal to see the pattern of the laser on your skin for a few days after the procedure.  You can expect these to fade within a few days.  If you have any concerns, please consult your treating physician.  He or she may review your skin care regimen to make sure it is optimal for healing.

Paul G. Ruff IV, MD, FACS · Answer

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