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

August 18, 2022
Asked By:River25 in Whittier, California

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.
