Does Repeat Laser Treatments Pose Greater Scarring Risks?
Is there a danger of "over-lasering" with going through several laser treatments over the years? I'd love an MD's opinion on how much lasering you actually can do on the face without causing scarring.

It depends on the type of laser and how deep each treatment is
If the "lasering" is done for wrinkles ( this is usually a CO2 laser ) repeated treatments are usually not necessary. However, if someone had a light CO2 laser done in their early 40's they may require another in their 60's.
If the peel was primarily done for pigments spots, they may have several treatments over the years as they get more of these as they age. These are done with the "cool" lasers.
