Weight training following Fraxel CO2 laser?

January 18, 2019
Asked By:emmasmudge in Atlantic City, NJ

I am a weight lifter and am in day 4 of my co2 fraxel Lazer treatment. Doing well aside from intense itching!!! My plastic surgeon's nurse said lifting after 72 hours was fine. I don't do cardio so there will be no sweating involved. Just interested in what other Dr's say about lifting heavy following this treatment! Thank you!!!
