Grid pattern on face 24 hrs post Fraxel. Is this normal? (photos)

MelasmaSucks
I had Fraxel done for melasma yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there was a clear grid pattern all over my face. I have done Clear + Brilliant in the past and there was never a grid, just an even darkness. Is this normal for Fraxel?
