Hi there,
That's an interesting question. I do not think there is strong evidence to recommend a particular diet or dietary guideline after laser resurfacing for acne scars, whether to speed up the healing process or prevent side effects.
To me, taking proper care of the skin after laser resurfacing is more important! Do remember to apply a minimum of 1) whatever medication cream your doctor has prescribed, 2) sunblock and 3) moisturizer until the skin completely heals over. In the meantime, I advise patients to enjoy their food and take everything in moderation!
Best regards,
Dr. Joanna Chan
