THE PROCEDURE
The Laser Resurfacing Procedure
Prior to treatment, the skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied. If necessary, oral medication may also be given to help the patient relax. Treatment can be tailored to address the individual patient’s needs by adjusting the aggressiveness of the laser. The treatment takes approximately thirty to forty minutes for the full face and patients typically describe a sensation of increasing heat during treatment.

The Laser Resurfacing Recovery
Swelling is common after treatment with Fraxel re:pair, and this typically subsides within one week. Redness may also occur and this may take up to a month to resolve. Some patients experience pinpoint bleeding, particularly with more aggressive treatments, but this typically fades within 48 hours. Other temporary side effects may include itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance similar to a suntan or sunburn. Recovery is generally quick compared to traditional CO2 laser resurfacing and patients are usually able to return to work and other normal activities within five to seven days. In any case, make sure to ask your surgeon in which cases the treatments could or not be beneficial to you at the time.
