Can I still get Fraxel laser done in a week if I am healing from impetigo?

Question

I am taking an antibiotic now to clear it up.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes if you do not have active condition you can get treated y suggestion would be to continue antibiotic, ensure its fully cleared use CLN wash (see link) and use AERIFY few days before and through healing.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Fraxel laser should only be done once your impetigo is healed. Even if it is almost gone and treated, it is best to wait for it to be gone. Be sure to speak with your doctor before you get Fraxel to confirm that it is healed and you are ready for the treatment.
