I had a Nano laser peel (level 8) 4 days ago. When will I completely heal?

I had a Nano laser peel 4 days ago to treat many decades of sun damage. I have been following the post opt treatments, however my skin is still very red, blotchy and sore. I did shave and then applied the barrier. When will I completely heal and will my skin go back to normal.

Laser peel treatments and Melarase

It all depends on how deep the laser penetrated and the areas of treatment. Once the skin heals over, I would use Melarase creams and PDL.

Thanks for your query. No, you need not worry as this is normal and will go in sometime. For faster result you can apply atonide gel twice a day for three days. Hope it helps.

I usually ask my patients how much time off they can give me for healing.  #Nanopeels  should be 2-3 days,  #Micropeels 3-4 days  and so on.

Hopefully all is healed by now
