I know what patients look like right afterwards (too red and raw to go out for about a week) and what they look like after three months (fully healed and gorgeous) -- but what do they look like in the middle, when you are still healing, but don't have to stay indoors?

Answer: Interim appearance after Laser resurfacing Having done well over a thousand laser resurfacing procedures in the last sixteen years, I will tell you that no two people heal the same so these are general guidelines. Typically, at 10 to 14 days, your skin goes from bright red and raw to pink in color. Over the next two to four weeks, the intense pink lessens to a medium pink. Over the next month, the pink starts fading with blotchy pink areas. Finally, at about 3-4 months, the pink subsides to skin color. However, I've seen some patients take up to six to eight months for the pinkness to go away. I hope this information helps.

Answer: Laser Resurfacing healing Depends on what type of laser was used. Let us assume CO2 or an erbium treatment was performed. After one month you will probably be red. I would recommend that you apply sun protection multiple times a day. I suspect you will be able to apply mineral makeup. You will probably start looking much better by 2 months.
