Post Active FX Regimen?

I had this procedure done a week ako, and my doctor insists on putting Vitamin C Serum on the face at least twice a day, beginning with the day of the procedure. He says it's the only way to heal the skin with proper result. I tried, but I found it painful and hardly did anything to improve my condition. What would be the usual recommended post-procedure regimen for Active FX?

Post Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing Regimen

While Vitamin C serum may not be a bad idea after Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing such as Active Fx, it should be postpone until 4 weeks afterwards after the wound healing is complete as it may be excessively irritating even within 2 weeks after the procedure. Make sure you seek out an experienced board-certified dermatologist who can customize post-op fractional co2 laser regimen depending on your skin type, tendency to hyperpigment or have facial redness, whether or not you are acne... more
