How Soon Can I Get Microderm or Glycolic Peel After Fraxel?

March 15, 2010
Asked By:Bombshell09 in New York, New York

My 3rd Fraxel treatment was on 1/6/10. Unfortunately, it left me with very dry skin, and broken capillaries (dark patches) and roughness under my eyes, on the ridge above my cheekbones. I'm now treating the dark, rough skin with NeoCutis "Blanche" cream (hydroquinone 4%), and moisturizer, plus sunscreen all the time. I want to turn my skin over as quickly as I can. Can I now try microderm and/or a light glycolic peel? I liked the result I got from them before, but now post-Fraxel, my skin seems drier and more fragile. OK or too harsh just yet?
