Smoking 2 Cigarettes After the 3th Treatment?

Question

I had 3 fractional treatments for acne scarring yet. Normally I doesnt smoking but i was on a party and smoked 2 cigarettes. May it be bad for the final results? Im very scared about that. :(

Smoking two cigarettes should not cause concern for adverse healing post-procedure. I do not recommend continuing to smoke. Do not worry about the two cigarettes Stay well-hydrated, eat healthy, apply adequate sunscreen, and use physician prescribed skin care. Thank you

In general two cigarettes will have no effect on your over all healing from a CO2 laser treatment. You should follow you physicians post operative instructions carefully to optimize your final result.

Smoking two cigarettes will have no affect on your healing - positive or negative. It's not good for general health, but it won't affect your fractional laser results.
