Hello, end of March i had a face fat transfer. I have scars on my face after acne. I would like to have a laser treatment with the alma hybrid laser. This is a laser co2 combined with erbium. Do you know if the hybrid uses radio frequency? I dont want to loose any fat from my face. Is it safe to use this device and how long do i have to wait after the fat transfer before i can get this treatment. How deep should the laser not go to avoid breaking after the face fat. Thank you in advance.
