Light Treatments after Laser Resurfacing

It is important for you to consult with your physician/surgeon to make sure what is most appropriate in your particular case. However, I prefer to use fractional technology, such as the Active FX and Deep FX for laser resurfacing, which in general heals faster than most.

This means at 12 weeks you could start with IPLs. In fact, I usually follow all my fractional laser resurfacing cases with IPLs about 2-3 months afterwards in order to even out the complexion and fade any remaining spots or stains.

Again depending on your skin, hydroquinones may or may not be appropriate but often are a great adjunct to prevent recurrence of stains. As in all these cases, it is most important that you stay out of the sun.

Thank you.
