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?

Answer: Fractional Laser Resurfacing is one option to treat freckles and deep wrinkles.
In this case a consultation would be necessary. Fractional laser resurfacing is an option for treatment but it is a more aggressive approach to treating your concerns. If the line on your forehead is your primary concern, a neurotoxin such as botox may be a better treatment option. If the freckles and brown spots on your skin are the primary concern, IPL or Fraxel Dual are great treatment options which will improve your concerns without as much healing time. Fractional laser resurfacing is also an option but may not be necessary.

Answer: 37 ? laser resurfacing
I don't think that 37 is too young for laser resurfacing but if you have horizontal forehead wrinkles Botox or Dysport might be what you need. You need to see someone that you trust and are comfortable with. I always use antibiotics when resurfacing but do think that opinion on that varies. I use Valtrex as well fro possible fever blisters. What I bet you need most is sunscreen. I am a freckled redhead too so understand. Fractional CO2 laser really cuts down on my freckles.
