I have peri oral dermatitis. I am having Fraxel on my whole face and upper and lower eyes. Will it make my condition worse?

This condition has been persistent for three years... It gets better and then seems to break out overnight...any suggestions and will Fraxel make it worse? I take Oracea 40 mg daily and use Metronidazole gel on my face.
