Fraxel Restore and Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (Not Active)?

Is it ok to continue to do Fraxel Restore if i have Seborrhoeic dermatitis? Its under control and not active my skin slight red thats cause from the oily skin but its not flaky, dry (no active symptoms). Im asking this is because ive had a fraxel to treat scar on my upper mid cheek few months ago and during recovery ive had minor blistering (1st few days), crusty/scabbing(around day 5, all shedded off by itself day 12). My Dr never ask this before so i never mention, only ask about medication.

Fraxel Restore and Seborrheic Dermatitis

Having an inflammatory skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis can be a problem when performing cosmetic procedures on the skin, as these conditions can be flared by the procedure. Have your board certified dermatologist ensure that your seborrheic dermatitis is well controlled prior to having a treatment such as fraxel and you should have no problems.
