Definitely follow-up with your treating physician if you are concerned about healing, as they have the best insight into what is normal and what may need treatment (i.e. infection, overhealing--also known as hypergranulation, etc.). However, as a general rule, wounds on the lower...
Dear ChanelM81,Thank you for your question. Time, sun protection and avoidance are key for good laser results. Make sure you have a good mineral based sun sunscreen SPF50+ and a good broad billed hat. Silicone based products can also help, to a lesser extent. There is a product I use called...
