Question

I have small pin holes on my face and noticed a considerate amount of small hair growing on my face..there are also four pimples like scars below my chin line....Do i book my second treatment as for its a series of three..

Misbah Khan MD, FAAD, FACMS · Answer

Fraxel Dual (restore) and Fraxel Repair are 2 completely different lasers. not sure which one you had done but best is to contact your doctor who performed the procedures for you. and discuss the problems you are having. sometimes one can have an acne breakout after the laser treatments if too much moisturizer was applied as it clogs the pores and delays the results.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

I'm a bit confused because the Fraxel Dual is different than the Fraxel re:pair. The hair question is unrelated to the laser procedure. Sometimes people have breakouts after the either Fraxel. These should be taken care of before proceeding to next treatment. Please see your doctor to advise you on treatment for this.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

I would return to my treating physician to examine your skin before proceeding with the next treatment.  Is it anti-aging or is it for sun damage? Please keep us posted.  Best, Dr. Green
