Swelling and Brown Spots After Fractional Laser?

Question

Hey, I don't know what was the form of Fractional Laser, that I got done but it done all over my face day before and the next moment, I had extensive swelling and some small brown spots all over the face. Pls advise me if I could do something to get rid of this. I have a long holiday planned in a week and I look so bad! I had flawless skin and I did it for extra glow and now I look so ugly with those marks and rough skin, which I never had in my lifetime! Pls..pls advice!

Hyperpigmentation and inflammation after laser procedures is quite common. In general, hyperpigmentation of any kind needs a combination approach of peels like Cosmelan, lasers like Clear + Brilliant, Aerolase and Laser Genesis, radiofrequency treatments like Venus Viva, and constant skin care and sun protection. Bimonthly facials with SilkPeel / DermalInfusion are essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.
