How long should I wait to have Dermabrasion after 4 session of fraxel dual?

Asked By:DimitriY

I have a moderate amount of scaring on my face due to acne. My last Fraxel session was on May of 2013. As of today, I still see all of my old scars. New scars have developed after the laser because I developed a habit of picking out the comedones on my face. My scars range of large pores to moderately pitted ones that are close to one another. I visited a plastic surgeon recently and suggested that Dermabrasion will work for my type of scars. How long should I wait after the Fraxel to have Dermabrasion?
