I had a Carbon Spectra Peel today. When is it OK to do a Fraxel treatment?

Question

I did not find the carbon spectra peel particularly painful, and it did not leave my skin red, by the looks of things my skin will heal quickly. I have some acne scaring left on my cheeks (rolling). The scars have diminished (did microneedling plus glycol acid peels in the past). I would like to try fraxel next to completely get rid of the small amount of texture left over on my cheeks. Is one week too soon to undergo a fraxel treatment after the carbon-spectra? If so, how long should I wait?

it would be great to do these both on the same day. I suggest you see a laser expert to determine the best treatment plan for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, both can be done at the same day, at one week, no problem. Fraxel is a good laser for treating mild an very superficial scars, but for deeper scars, other treatments are better. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
