The term “Fractional Laser Resurfacing” often conjures up horrifying images of bleeding, swelling, peeling, and spending a week in recluse away from friends and colleagues.
It is not that bad, actually. There is no clinical downtime -meaning you can still go about all your normal activities, provided you take care to avoid the sun.
There is a social downtime of about 5 days, during which your face will be red, then brown, resembling a sunburn.
To give everyone a better idea of how your skin may look like during the aftermath from Mixto, I have decided to chronicle my own healing process after the procedure, giving a day by day account of the downtime period.
The process took 6 days in total, during which I still continued going to work, shopping, and hitting the gym, without turning any heads. And the radiant post-laser skin makes all the inconvenience more than worth it!
