Is "Stacking" Profractional Laser Treatment at Higher Settings Reasonable?

I had profractional laser on my entire face in April. The doctor used 150 under my eyes. I want to have it done again. It has been 3 months. Is "stacking" the laser treatment at a higher level under my eyes, lips, and around my mouth a reasonable treatment?

Stacking profractional

The answer is yes, you can stack profractional treatments safely around the eyes. Because the epidermal layer of the skin is thinner around the eyes, the depth settings here are more conservative. Levels of 100 microns cause less pinpoint bleeding than those of 150 microns, but results are likely to be less as well. My preference is for 150 as well. The typical density of the pattern in the newest profractional systems (XC) is 11%, so I assume that is what you had in your single pass... more
