I just had a fraxel 1550 treatment yesterday, the person in charge of it told me to use cocoa butter after the 4th day.. but I suffered from mild acne not long ago and I'm afraid using such a heavy moisturizer will clog my pores and the whole point for me doing a fraxel was to actually get rid of all my acne scars.. I'm not sure what to do? I just don't want to aggravate the treatment and my skin if I don't moisturize properly. What will you recommend ?

A combination of fillers and lasers such as eMatrix which has a special eye piece for under eye wrinkles would be best. I also perform a great deal of Thermage to help produce new collagen and make eyes look younger. Best, Dr. Green
I believe that it is perfectly safe to continue using Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfur 5% lotion. Still, you should contact your provider and ask if you should stick to certain regimen prior Fraxel treatment to maximize results, and inform them about products that you are currently using....
Yes, tazarotene can even contribute improved results after fraxel. No worries. It is important to keep healthy skin regimen after your treatment. Use sunscreen with high SPF daily. Good luck
