How should I schedule PicoFraxel when I have both acne scars and dryness?
I have combination skin prone to acne, and as the weather gets colder, I feel increased dryness after washing my face. I am more concerned about the red or dark marks left behind after the breakouts than the actual acne itself, so I am considering getting a consultation for a laser treatment like PicoFraxel. However, I am wondering if starting treatment immediately while my skin is dry could cause greater irritation. If I am still experiencing intermittent breakouts, is it better to manage the acne first before starting scar treatment, or can I differentiate between the two and proceed with both treatments at the same time? I would also like to know how to distinguish between areas with current inflammation and those with only marks during the consultation. If I choose PicoFraxel, please explain the criteria typically used to determine the treatment interval and how much attention I should pay to moisturizing before and after the procedure for dry combination skin.

- 01CommentsIt is good that you intend to adjust your medication during your consultation rather than stopping it arbitrarily. Please organize the product name, ingredients, application area, frequency, and last use date, and inform them if you have recently experienced stinging or peeling. Identifying conditions that require postponing laser treatment, possible management methods while maintaining the prescribed medication, and confirming who will provide guidance and when any medication adjustments are made will help in establishing a safe plan.210026.11.03

- 02CommentsI heard that the interval for Pico Toning is determined differently depending on your skin condition and the type of pigmentation. If you are worried about getting treatments too frequently, ask them to set the interval based on your skin type during the consultation, and also inquire at which session you want to check your progress. They say it is really important to be meticulous about sun protection after the procedure!7110026.10.22
