Does massaging help after resurfacing on the face?

Massage of the face is not necessary or helpful after resurfacing of the face.  Resurfacing affects the surface of the skin, while massaging is used for some treatments that affect the layers beneath the skin. 

Thank you for your question. We don't recommend massage after resurfacing as this may disrupt the skin surface healing process. I hope this helps!

We advise patients to use a therapeutic regimen of collagen building topicals to improve the results of laser resurfacing on the face. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
