Is Predinisone Really Necessary Post Fractionated CO2 Laser, Active FX?

Asked By:JackieBlue in Aspen

Hi Docs, I have a scheduled Active FX procedure for next week, and part of the aftercare is Prednisone 10 mg 3 times per day for 3 days. There is a part of me that wonders if this will impede results? Doesn't the inflammation stimulate the growth factors and collagen production? Thanks in advance!
