Is It Safe to Have Fraxel Laser and Thermage Combination?
I am a 51 year old hispanic male. I am loooking for a combination of Fraxel Laser and Thermage.
Ten years ago, I decided to have a chemical dermabration, I was almost purple for about 6 to 8 months.
Will I have the same experience with this treatment? Do you recommend both at the same time?
Thanks,
RL

I would obviosuly recommend these tretaments only be performed by board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons to avoid any complications as a significant amount of heat is...

This is actually very common
The use of Fraxel for skin color and texture and Thermage or Titan for skin tightening is very common and can be safely done together.
