Question

I had fraxel laser done 4 days ago and I have very distinguished pin point marks in a grid pattern that is slightly raised. I am concerned this will be permanent as it doesn't sound like a usual response. Any advice please?

I do not know the specifics of the Fraxel settings that were used. But nothing
about your condition, photo, and story is outside of the range of normal. This
will continue to improve.

Your response to Fraxel sounds normal. The pin points that you see are the spots where the actual laser was applied to your face. After the initial redness subsides, the overall area may look brown and can be itchy. The pin point marks will begin to slough off as you continue to wash and moisturize your face over the next week. It is important not to pick or scratch these areas, which can cause scarring.
