How can I maximize results from intense fractional CO2 laser?

January 8, 2018
Asked By:scotty914 in Los Angeles, CA

Do I need to entirely avoid alcohol? Smoking weed? Going to the gym in the first month post laser? Non sensitive sunscreen? I drink alcohol once a week (about 6-8 drinks) and smoke weed once a week. Will this make my results worse or is that in enough moderation to not make a big difference? I eat really healthy, protect myself from the sun, keep my skin moisturized, and stay active with the gym and running. Are there any specific foods or habits that can help maximize collagen production?
