I am a 32 year old female and over the last 3 years, my skin has deteriorated severely. My face is covered in open pores that have stetched into furrows that now appear as many fine lines, its particularly severe on my cheek area and my skin now appears rough and course in appearance. I am now considering Fraxel Repair to try and minimise the appearance of these skin issues. Would Fraxel Repair be an effective treatment my facial skin issues or can you recommend a more suitable treatment? Many thanks!

You will want to avoid using anything other than the prescribed moisturizers on your skin for at least 1-2 weeks after fraxel repair treatments. The goal is to have the outer layer of skin regrow before applying anything that might aggravate the skin before the outer layer is healed.
