Best skin aftercare following laser resurfacing?

Is there anything special I need to do (or not do) to recovery skin after a laser skin treatment or increase the effectiveness of the laser treatment?

I think the best laser resurfacing results can be obtained by doing your homework.

  • Read about what you think you want
  • Talk to your doctor about realistic expectations because that’s what you have to establish right away

People come in and say “I want these gone” and I say, “Well I can make them a little better. And I don’t know if that’s going to be 20% better or 80% better, but it’s not going to be 100% better.” And we have to try combination treatments-avoiding the sun, using the right sun creams, getting a series of laser treatments, and maybe doing some microdermabrasion to maintain your skin, Botox, and Restylane or another filler substance.

To hit it from different angles will achieve the optimal results.
