I have had the Aquamid over a 6 year period, and am interested in Fraxel repair. Will there be any problems if I have Fraxel repair?

Fraxel repair Over Aquamid
Hi Matthew,
Fraxel repair treats the skin to about 1.8 mm deep maximum. Aquamid is injected much deeper below the skin. You should be able to have Fraxel repair without problems, but as with anything in medicine there are no guarantees.
I am not a fan or user of Aquamid because of the delayed severe infections that have been published in the scientific literature.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
