Vitamins after CO2 laser with PRP.

kilo gApr 1, 2017
Hi- I had CO2 laser with PRP 2 weeks ago and I'must progressing well. My skin is smooth slightly pink but clear; starting to see a little improvement this early. I've been following post laser skin care exactly as directed (now keeping hydrated on Elta MD lotion and sunblock). I stopped taking my daily supplements for this (folic, probiotic, flax omega, vits c & d). Can I start them again and also are there any that I should look at adding to help my skin further?
