Laser resurfacing with carbon dioxide can be of the old type non-fractional ablative, or fractional ablative. If the former, the number of passes and energy create a different convalescent period. Many people take 12 days, less or more, to heal, but the redness can take several months to go away. There is a faster convalescence with the newer fractional carbon dioxide laser. Be sure to ask your doctor your questions though.
Depending on the # of passes and depth of treatment determines the hrealing time. Also your genetics and any medical issues. On average healing that 2 to 3 weeks. Consult the doctor who treated you. From MIAMI DR. B
First of all, these are questions that should be asking your treating physician. Make sure you stay in close touch with him or her. The first week after laser resurfacing is always a difficult time for patients because there can be a lot of swelling, redness, crusting and sometimes bruising from anesthesia shots. Once your face peels ( usually between the 4-7 day) then your skin will still be pink to red in color. This color can last anywhere from 1 week to rarely 1-2 months. Every patient is different and healing times can vary depending upon the laser settings used so make sure you stay in contact with your doctor and keep your follow up appointments to make sure everything heals as planned.

Thank you for your question, the skin is lacking in pigmentation therefore medical tattooing can be used to make it look more like the surrounding skin. All The Best
The answer to your question depends on which laser or device is being used to resurface, the depth of the treatment, the density of the treatment, was there overlapping or stacked pulses, etc. Fraxel Restore, the nonablative laser, can create significantly different convalescence among patients...
