Use of Biptron Light After Fraxel Repair Treatment?

Worth It
Spent: $3,500 in Sweden

Comments (1)

Posted 20 Jul 2010

I just had a Fraxel Repair treatment 4 days ago. Some small acne scar areas where also injected with hyaluronic acid 2 hours prior to the Fraxel repair treatment. The skin recovery is proceding as normal, but the question is now: Should I use the Bioptron light source to speed up recovery time? If yes from which day after the treatment? Or is there a risk of creating hyper pigmentation areas? The Bioptron light doesn't have an Ultra Violet light component by the way. Hope to receive an answer. Greetings from Sweden!

It looks like this is Light therapy. There is no harm in using it immediately after the procedure. We use gentlewaves after the re:pair and seem to see a faster recovery but that's hard to quantify. It might not help, but won't hurt either.
