Is There Such a Thing As Too Much Laser Treatment?

November 28, 2010
Asked By:wildflowers in NY

I am in my mid-twenties and am thinking of undergoing fractional CO2 laser treatment for acne scars. Will having such treatment be a contraindication for future laser resurfacing (or even invasive surgical procedures like a facelift) when I am older, to get rid of wrinkles?
