I wonder if those quite short period between previous and subsequent treament(s) would disrupt the healing process and actual result of the previous treatment? i just underwent fraxel restore and it left me with redness that might stay for a month but the doctor already advised to undergo 2nd treatment after 1 month. it's for 2 shallow indented scars. should i go for it or wait until the end of the actual result of the 1st treatment?
