I got Fraxel for stretch marks just over two weeks ago on abdomen and hips. My skin is still very red where the laser was applied. Didn't experience much if any peeling, and the sandpaper feel is gone. The red marks are distinct, oddly placed, obvious rectangles all over my belly and hips where the laser was applied. The belly marks were new and purple in color while the hip ones were white. I'm worried I'm scarred for life. Nothing led me to believe the obvious redness would last so long.
