You would also feel discomfort, itching or stinging from 12 to 72 hours after
the resurfacing. After a week or so, your skin will become dry and start

10-21 days. There could be some redness immediately after healing,
which will subside usually in 2-3 months.
The new skin will be lighter and you will need extra care to protect it and
maintain the same. Use as ‘broad-spectrum’ sunscreen, which filters UV
A and B rays to protect your skin during the initial days after surgery.
Choose the sunscreen carefully and go for the one that is specially
made to be applied on face with a minimum of 7 percent zinc oxide
content and SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 and above. Avoid going
out in the sun especially between 10am and 2pm when the rays are at
peak. If you do have to go out, wear appropriate protective clothing
like full sleeved shirts, pants, scarf, hat. Carry an umbrella to prevent
sunrays from directly falling on you.
The new skin tends to dry easily if not cared for. Keep it well moisturized.
Check with your doctor on when you can use Retin A or glycolic acid
products. Most of the times, you can use it after 6 weeks.
