I Have Red Hair, Freckles with Deepish Wrinkles on my Forehead. 37 Too Early For Fractional Laser Resurfacing?

Beckyaus
I don't trust the practitioner I saw. At 37 years old is it too early to begin fractional laserr resurfacing as I heard it makes your skin thinner?I s there a risk of scarring? The practitioner said I'd have open wounds but wouldn't need antibiotics could this be right?
