On day 0 following laser treatment, the patient had an erythema and discoloration score of 2. Her oozing and crusting score was 0. She continued to use botanical corrective gel twice daily but continued to have redness. On day 2, she strongly disagreed that there had been any improvement in her condition; however, she found relief in applying the botanical corrective gel, which relieved the skin discomfort and swelling. At 1 week, the physician assessed her and found her erythema and discoloration score decreased to 1 accompanied by 75% re-epithelization of her face. At this time, she felt that her skin had markedly improved since her last visit and reported no downtime from her procedure.
