When should redness after a laser procedure be reported to the clinic?
Question to clarify
I have redness and dryness after a laser procedure. Which changes should prompt earlier contact instead of waiting for the scheduled follow-up?
Source-backed answer
Follow the treating clinic’s procedure-specific instructions. Contact the clinic promptly if redness or pain is worsening, or if you develop blisters, pus, fever, spreading swelling, or an abrupt color change. Avoid friction and continue cleansing, moisturizing, and light protection only as instructed. The correct follow-up interval depends on the procedure and must be confirmed with the treating clinician.
