When is it safe to workout after getting Fraxel procedure?

July 6, 2016
Asked By:hana__parkkk in Carrollton, TX

I got a fraxel laser done for my acne scarring on June 28th. So far my skin has healed up pretty well with all the dead skin peeled off. Its been 9 days but on my post op instructions it says to avoid strenuous exercise for "a week or so" so Im curious to when its okay for me to be working out again?
