This timeframe is characterized by initial redness and swelling, followed by gradual peeling and the emergence of newer, healthier skin. Documenting this process facilitates patient understanding and helps manage expectations regarding the treatments outcome.
Understanding the typical healing process promotes adherence to aftercare instructions, maximizing the benefits of the procedure. Historically, predicting and managing post-laser recovery has been a significant area of focus in cosmetic dermatology.
