Is it okay to have Red Light Therapy for anti aging after Fraxel treatment?

Question

A month after a person had 6 treatments of Fraxel, is it okay to start red light treatment for anti aging?

Nissan Pilest, MD · Answer

Absolutely! In fact I often recommend light
therapy immediately following Fraxel in order to reduce side effects and minimize
downtime. Light therapy gently and effectively enhances DNA synthesis, and
augments cellular tissue regeneration. Depending on the wavelength utilized, a
series of light treatments can help to accelerate wound healing, rejuvenate and
firm the skin, kill acne causing bacteria, and even treat precancerous lesions.
So yes, by all means, do maintain your Fraxel results through light therapy
sessions!

Yes, absolutely fine. No harm I did a split face study on 6 patients after all forms of fractional laser therapy including Fraxel, co2 fractional, erbium, microneedling, etc... one side occluded with cloth, other side exposed to light (used red in the 633 and also diode 810). I then tried to pick which side healed up the fastest (blinded study), did not see a difference, but it did not delay healing, so no harm done. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser dermatologistBrisbane, Australia
