LED Light Therapy Following Fraxel re:pair for Acne

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: LED therapy after Fraxel Repair?

I was wondering, do LED treatments help with acne scar improvment after Fraxel Repair? How long after the Fraxel Repair procedure is it ok to have an LED session?

Hi  Brad,

That is a very good question.  LED therapy has proven to be helpful in treating minor skin texture and color problems.  There are practioners who routinely use LED after Fraxel re: pair.  One can have LED treatment the following day after re: pair, and each day there after.  I have only had experience treating a few patients with LED after re: pair, and did not see an appreciable difference in their recovery.

But like my Mom used to say, "It can't hurt".  Be well.
