Skin Healing after Fraxel 1550 on High Setting - Please Help!
Post Body

I am a 31 year old male in the United States who has been getting Fraxel laser on my face to treat bad acne marks and scars. My Doctor uses the 1550 setting for the scarring and in past treatments the results have been amazing.

I just had my fourth Fraxel session on Sunday (four days ago) and I had it set to an energy level of 70 and treatment level 5. The healing time is taking much longer than when I previously had the Fraxel 1550 at an energy level of 50 and the same treatment level. By just increasing the energy by 20 Joules from 50 to 70 and keeping everything else the same, it’s surprising how much more intense the treatment is and how much longer the healing takes. I didn’t expect that and now I am getting worried.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? It’s already Thursday and my skin still looks quite unsettled. Should I be concerned, or is this a normal response to the higher setting? What have others done to manage or expedite the healing process in such cases?
