Can I microneedle after after a Fraxel treatment?

March 26, 2016
Asked By:James196817 in Toronto, ON

I had a Fraxel treatment 5 months ago on both cheeks, which caused hyperpigmentation (I'm of Mediterranean descent) along with scarring caused by the heat of the laser. I still have acne scarring, but don't want to use Fraxel again. I'm considering microneedling, and want to know if it's safe in light of what I experienced. Thanks
