Before the shelter at home order started, I had done 2 out of 4 fractional laser treatments for my acne scars, one PRX-T33 peel, and one TCA Cross treatment. I don’t know when I will be able to go back. Will it hurt my results to take a break in between laser treatments? Is there anything I can do at home? Like use a retinol serum?

Answer: Acne scar treatment For your laser series you will still see good results because it takes at least 30-60 days to see results from each treatment. In the meantime use a good skin care program including tretinoin from your doctor. Your regimen should have a deep pore cleanser, exfoliating scrub and oil control preferably with salicylic acid to mange overactive oil glands.

Answer: Combining Fraxel with Other Collagen Stimulating Treatment Farxel lasers as well as micro needling are methods of stimulating collagen production. My personal opinion is that the patients having these treatments should be on retinol to further encourage collagen production. For lesser problems a good retinol may be adequate. However, with your problem, I would suggest tretinoin (Retin-A), pushing it to tolerance. No matter what you do along these lines, the results will take up to a year or more to see.
