Pixel Laser: Lasting Redness, is this normal?

Question

How long is the downtime after Pixel Laser? When should the redness subside?

Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I get this question a lot and there is no good answer as the redness is very individual, and the settings used are variable, and the more energy used, the longer redness lasts.   I hope this helps!

If you are having sensitivity and ongoing redness, I would use a combination of PDL and Elevase Moisture Booster to soothe the skin reaction down. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Redness after Pixel laser treatment is normal and can last
from 1-2 weeks, depending on the intensity of the laser and sensitivity of the
skin.  Sometime the skin may crust as well, which means you are not
applying enough moisturizer.  Always cover the treated area with
moisturizer to increase healing time and help decrease the length of redness.

Jeffrey W. Hall, MD · Answer

The redness from pixel usually subsides within one to two weeks. Peoples skin sensitivity varies greatly, so the redness from pixel may last 3 days in one person and 10 days in another person.
