Micro Laser Peel with Profractional VS Profractional alone?

Question

Hi, Im going to get a Profractional laser in a couple of months to treat my acne scars, pores and uneven texture. I've heard and read that the Micro Laser Peel and Profractional combination is very popular. I was wondering if adding the Micro Laser Peel to my Profractional treatment is worth it and if it will give better results than Profractional alone. Thanks.

Most of the time we use the profractional in certain areas like the eye region or around the mouth or areas of acre scarring and use the micro laser peel for the transition areas and to avoid demarcations between areas.

It really depends on the areas and your skin type, as well as your downtime. Yes, you are correct - most of my laser resurfacing is done with the Sciton (Microlaser or fully ablative), then I use a fractional - either ProFractional or CO2. This does give you better results, but there are disadvantages -1. Fully ablative laser ( or deep micro peel) is v painful, so sedation or blocks are needed, given the extent2. Recovery maybe 8 to 12 days3. Areas need to be blended in 4. Redness may persist for a few months. You have to make that decision of a trade off between scars and healing times, All the bestDr Davin LimLaser Dermatologist
