I had deep FX fractional resurfacing on my peri-oral area and forehead 5 weeks ago. My forehead has healed, but the region around my peri-oral area is still discolored (somewhere between gray & pink). Will this go away or is it permanent? I expected a 2-3 wk recovery.
A combination of microneedling and a bleaching agent should address the skin discoloration. In terms of a full recovery from the fractional procedure, it can take up to 6 months for post-inflammatory inflammation to resolve.
