Is laser resurfacing best performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?

Asked By:123okay in Sarasota, FL

Hi, I asked a prior question if repeat bad results from laser resurfacing (multiple scars, rough waxy texture, blotchy discoloration, minimal tightening) were due to being a poor candidate for laser resurfacing (having fair sensitive skin), or poor technique. Drs. here indicated it was likely due to faulty technique or modality selection. Bad outcomes were by a Dr. who is double-board certified with many years as a Dr. Should laser resurfacing be performed by a Dermatologist instead? Thanks.
