Asked By:Loving8319 in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

I underwent 33 rounds of radiation, finishing in May 2022. I would like to get some fractional resurfacing, IPL, etc done to the area to help with texture and hyperpigmentation. Is this a safe procedure to have done and if so is there a minimum time I should prior to doing so. I am otherwise a very healthy 38 yr old woman with no other complications.
