Question
Hi,
As a general guide, an interval of 10-15mins between application of different layers of creams is recommended.
Hence, extrapolating to the situation asked, it may be best that retinol is applied 10-15mins after use of toner rather than immediately after. This is to avoid potential interaction between the 2 products which could possibly increase skin irritation or decrease the effects of the retinol.
Hope this suggestion helps!
Good questions! I agree with Dr Chua’s reply on the pros and cons of Fractional CO2 lasers versus Infini RF. In addition, I would like to address your question on the ideal length of time between subcision and Infini RF treatments. The ideal interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks. This is to allow for adequate skin recovery. Hope that this answers your questions!
PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
