Question
Hi,
Both techniques are meant to induce controlled damage to the skin via a fractionated approach. One via laser energy (Fraxel) and the other via mechanical injury (Dermapen).
Combining both procedures sequentially especially on the same day may not have any significant complementary benefits and may in fact cause more unwanted side effects. Hence, I do not recommend this combination treatment personally.
Hope this helps!
I agree with the answers by Dr Winston and Dr Israr. Intralesional injections are mainly recommended for acne cyst. As previously mentioned, frequent steroid injections can caused skin thinning and atrophy and if this happens it may be irreversible! There are many other effective treatments to get the acne under control like oral antibiotics and isotretinoin. So speak to your dermatologist and tell her your concerns and discuss if these other options are suitable for you.
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!
