I am a 59yr fair skin woman, w/no acne scars. I'm torn between having a Fraxel or the RF Microneedling w/PRP. I know that I would need to have at least 3 Fraxels to see results. - My doctor is partial to the RFM & says I will need only one (1) RFM w/PRP treatment. However, I'm reading that I will need at least 3 FRM''s (w/PRP) to see results? I'm also reading that RFM is painful? Help!

The risk of sun exposure after a laser treatment are poor healing and inflammation of the skin. The risk of a systemic reaction with using sunscreen after microneedling would be extremely rare. I would discuss your concerns with your Dr and create a plan for aftercare. Best, Dr. Emer
Hello,
A series of microneedling with PRP would be a great place to start for your acne scars. I would recommend setting up a consultation with your provider and determining a treatment plan . Best, Dr Farz
