Is electrolysis safe to be done before or during fraxel laser resurfacing of the face?

Asked By:maya23 in Vancouver, BC

I will be doing a series of laser resurfacing on my face (nonablative) and I want to to do electrolysis as well. Should I wait after the whole laser series are done, or can I do it in between sessions? Do these treatments affect each other in any way?
