Is Erbium fully ablative laser resurfacing done twice within a month safe?

Asked By:anon91781 in Australia

Hi, I have had fully ablative laser resurfacing done twice on my face for acne scars - treatments were spaced apart and done within a month of each other. I was wondering if this is safe? I was initially told this procedure was to be done once until my dermatologist called me back in and performed the procedure again
