Is it okay to have a 5 weeks gap for another Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Asked By:andreev11 in Austin, TX

I have just had a Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing and it took about 10-14 days for the redness to go away. I am planning to get another one and asked my doctor about it. He said that 5 to 6 weeks gap will be okay to get another one. If it is not okay, why?
