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

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

Fraxel comes in 1927, 1550 and CO2. If you had the CO2, expect swelling for 1 week, redness for up to 8-10 weeks. Other Fraxels have faster healing times. More on Fraxel in the info web ref. below. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
