Study presented at ASLMS show benefit of LED after CO2 laser

Steven F. Weiner, 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?

A paper recently precented at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery by a physician's group from McGill University and RoseLab Skin Optics Research, Montreal, Canada shows a reduction in uo to 64% of the treated areas in the melanin index in patients treated with LED therapy. This means a decreased risk of hyperpigmentation when treated with LED Light Therapy after having CO2 laser treatments.

Another benefit I believe will be improved redness leading to less social downtime. Multiple clinical research papers have found the benefits of LED therapy -- improved pigmentation, redness, and collagen stimulation.
