Is it normal for my skin to look the same after Fraxel Laser?

Question

i got fraxel laser done, full fake its been over 24 hour but less than 48 hours & my face only got swollen & a little pink. is this normal?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

One fraxel will not make a major impact. This type of laser requires a series of treatments.  I suggest you speak to your physician about the long term treatment plan customized for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! There are several Fraxel lasers available. The Clear and Brilliant laser has the shortest downtime and it is possible that your skin heals that quickly. If the Dual was used, it usually takes 5-7 days to peel and for the swelling to go down. The results take 6-12 weeks to see. Improvements in pigmentation, pores, fine lines, precancers are expected with Fraxel treatments. Best of luck!

Depending on the settings used for the Fraxel laser you may only have redness or swelling for a day or two. If you concerned you should contact your treating physician.  Best, Dr. Green
