With the 1927 wavelength for uneven pigmentation you will have your skin peel over 3-5 days. You will get an appearance of sunburn (minus the pain) for 5-7 days. It is unlikely for you to have any significant blistering or oozing and you could apply makeup after a few days.  During the first 24 hours after treatment, your skin may feel as though it is sunburned. Ice packs or frozen peas are used 5-10 minutes per hour for the first 5-6 hours after the treatment. Your skin will look very red immediately after the treatment and will fade over the next 1-3 days. Usually you can go back to normal activities including work, with make-up, within 1-3 days (your doctor will estimate for you). Occasionally, the redness may take longer to resolve. Make-up can be worn to reduce the red. Fraxel is the brand name of one of the first fractional lasers. The cost varies by where you live, the office you go to, and the size of the area being treated. A full face laser resurfacing should cost ranges from $900 to about $1400. A full face plus eyelid should run approximately $1400 to $1900 You will see some improvement within days of the procedure as your skin begins to heal. You will see continued improvement over 2 - 3 months. If your treatment involves multiple sessions, you should continue to see improvements up to six months after your final session. Fraxel ® Laser treatments result in rejuvenated skin that can take years off your looks. That does not mean that it stops the aging process; you will continue to age.  1 Bleaching or peeling of the skin can help lighten the skin for a more uniform skin tone, and the skin may fade on its own over time. 2  A small number of people have a loss of color in the treated skin 6 to 12 months after the procedure. 3  This effect may be permanent, especially with deeper laser treatments.  1 The Fraxel Peel (a component of Fraxel Dual) gives a more superficial treatment and results in a significant peeling of the skin over 5 to 7 days. 2  It is best suited for treating sun-related pigmentation. Many Fraxel treatments have almost no down-time with only mild redness which can be covered by makeup the next day. During the first 24 hours after treatment, your skin may feel as though it is sunburned, and it will appear pink or red. Make-up can be worn to reduce the sunburned appearance. After the cream has taken affect (approximately one hour) it is removed. The Fraxel treatment will take approximately 30 minutes depending on the extent of the area to be treated. You will be advised to stay at the clinic for observation for approximately 15 minutes after the treatment. You will need to be in the clinic for approximately two hours. This allows time for pre and post treatment photos, application of local anesthetic cream to the area, skin preparation and rest, and observation following the procedure. Days 2 through 7 after treatment: 1  Your swelling should be going down, however it is not uncommon for some puffiness to remain for up to 7-days after treatment. 2  Continue to apply moisturizer and sunscreen as needed. 3  You may still be pink/brown. 4  If you are noticing any pimple-like breakouts, again— do NOT pick or pop !  Most patients report a mild sunburn sensation for about an hour after the Fraxel laser treatment. The skin will have a pinkish tone for five to seven days – this is a normal sign that your skin is healing deeply. Swelling is minimal and generally resolves in two to three days.  During the first 24 hours after treatment, your skin may feel as though it is sunburned. Ice packs/frozen peas are used 5-10 minutes per hour for the first 5-6 hours after the treatment. Your skin will peel for 2-7 days and will be pink for 3 to 6 weeks. This healing all depends on how deep your treatment is. After a week or so, you can wear make-up to cover the pink. Rarely, bruising may develop, which can take up to two weeks to resolve. After your skin heals, which may take up to 3-14 days, there will be a period of 4 to 6 weeks after that when your skin might be slightly pink. During this period, your skin will feel smoother and looks less blotchy.
