OK to Exfoliate a Few Days After Fraxel?

August 30, 2008
Asked By:ashley54 in Miami, FL

I used an exfoliate this morning. My skin still feels the same. Is that going to hurt my outcome from Fraxel? Also is it normal to have a few breakouts and what can I do to prevent this? I thought the heat from the laser would kill the bacteria and prevent breakouts. I am a little annoyed that now I am having small whitehead breakouts.
