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

October 20, 2017
Asked By:tiinkerbell in Ontario, CA

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?
