Is it okay to get a micro laser peel with active acne?

River25Aug 18, 2022
Before I got my micro laser peel I had some acne no cystic just regular acne. I was told it was okay for me to still proceed with the laser. After the laser I didnt peel and my scars didnt diminish. I got more acne and my scars look as red or more red then they did.

Thank you for sharing your questions and posting your photo. You would need a combination approach of erbium laser and yag laser. You would see significant improvement but not perfection. See an oculofacial surgeon for detailed evaluation and guidance. Good luck!

It depends on the laser treatment that you are going to get. If it's a full field laser like an erbium or a CO2 then you want to wait until after the facelift to get that. The good news is that you don't look like you need an aggressive laser like those. A Halo laser, which is a hybrid...
