Can you do Laser Genesis and a microneedling session one week apart? (on sensitive skin)

Question

I will be doing my third laser genesis on a Wednesday, and am hoping to do my second microneedling session the following Wednesday. I have very sensitive skin that has been burned by Fraxel before. I haven't had any bad reactions to laser genesis. Is it safe to do them one week apart?

Yes. microneedling 1
week after Laser Genesis is safe. They could be done on the same day. Make
sure to avoid the sun and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen after
treatment. 
Cheers from Dallas!

Although I wouldn’t recommend getting the microneedling prior to the laser genesis. The heat from the laser on the microneedled skin would cause way too much inflammation.

Thank you for your question. It is completely safe to have a microneedling session one week apart from a laser genesis treatment given that your skin has not changed in between that timeframe. In fact, we even treat patients with a combination therapy of laser genesis and microneedling treatments done in a single session. Please seek a board-certified dermatologist to determine if you are an ideal candidate for this treatment.

Peter J. Jenkin, MD, FAAD · Answer

Laser genesis is extremely safe and noninvasive so you shouldn't have any trouble at all doing microneedling one week after this treatment.  All the Best.
