I had a Fraxel 1550 only, not the 1927, and after more than 3 weeks I'm still very red, why?

I had a Fraxel 1550 only. Setting 70mj, TL8, 8 passes. I bronzed all over like normal. I extremely crusted down the area where laugh-lines would be & the sides of my chin. I believe the area was burned. It dried & peeled several times in that area. Even after I completely peeled my face was very tight. It's been over 3 wks & I'm still very reddish brown. I can see a major difference on my forehead between where it was done & where it wasn't done just above my eyebrow. Why am I so very red?
