Tazarotene is great pre treatment before fraxel.  I suggest most complete facial skin care and also do microneedling/PRP with your fraxel for better outcomes.  Dr. Emer.

I suggest a non hydroquinone lightening agent or vitamin A, C and kojic acid.  Arbutin, licorice root are good alternatives.  Many companies like PCA skin have great non HA lighteners.  Best, Dr. Emer.
