Is it common for a patient to experience purging or breaking out after a Fraxel Dual Treatment for PIH? (photo)

Asked By:barrebelle7 in San Jose, CA

I had an allergic reaction to a retinol/bpo product which gave me cystic acne and PIH. I still have occasional breakouts and read that fraxel can cause some people to break out. Is this true? Or could it just be from the recovery cream they use after?
