Yes, we do see acne flares in patient's who get Fraxel treatment. We often put patients on doxycycline orally and try to use petrolatum free products on the skin. Your acne should calm down fairly quickly and you will be able to have further Fraxel treatments. Don't worry.

Sorry to hear about your acne oubreak after Fraxel. But that is common. Check your products (skin care and makeup) and make sure that none of them contain a lot of oil (mineral oil, etc). Also, I offer a complimentary facial to all my Fraxel patients one week after to address just this. See if your provider can give you a facial.
