How soon after CO2 laser resurfacing can Restylane be used?

With laser resurfacing, but espeically with the Fraxel re:Pair in it's greater intensity I may wait as long as 2-3 months before using a filler as the changes occuring may continue for this period of time and you may need less filler than anticipated (unless the filler is in an area uneffected by the laser or you have had a superfical treatment).
