Laser and blackheads?

November 16, 2020
Asked By:courtml in Chattanooga, TN

Hi, I'm having Opus Plasma laser for acne scars in three days and have clear skin except for a few small blackheads. Should I try to clear up blackheads first? If they went over the blackheads with the laser could it spread and cause further blackheads or breakouts? Or would the laser actually help? Background - I did Accutane last year and am very faithful with Retin-A every night except glycolic acid exfoliation 2-3 a week but still manage to get blackheads.
