“Palomar Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing”

I had my first fractional laser skin resurfacing done yesterday with Palomar Lux 1540. It was kind of painful a bit like i was pierced by a needle, but generally it was tolerable and the pre-operative topical anesthesia helped a lot.

I have some active acne lesions but my doctor told me that the procedure can help minimize acne breakouts.

After the procedure, my face was red and i felt a burning sensation. I observe that my skin now feels a little rough when i run my fingers over it but the pores are somewhat a little smaller now. He scheduled me for an appointment 5 days after for TCA peel.

I'll keep posting the development of this procedure.

Is it safe to for my skin to have TCA peel 5 days after my first Palomar fractional laser skin resurfacing? I have fresh acne scars and uneven skin tone.
