Spacing Laser Resurfacing Treatments?

asked 3 years ago by wow1212 in Chicago, IL

Question viewed 304 times

How far apart should laser resurfacing treatments (to reduce scars) be spaced? Should you ever do it 6 months after the first? Are there pros and cons?

Fractional non-ablative laser resurfacing for scar removal should be spaced 4-5 weeks apart

I assume you are talking about non-ablative fractional laser rsurfacing using the 1540 Erbium laser for treating scars. These treatments should be scheduled about 4-5 weeks apart. There is no problem waiting 6 months but since results require at least 4 treatments it will take a very long time at 6 month intervals to see your result.
