If anyone had treatment for scarring from bouts of acne, such as laser resurfacing, dermabrasion,...?

fractional laser therapy, chemical peel or microdermabrasion, what are some rules that you must adhere to during the healing period? Like, can you still use daily skin products i.e Proactiv during that time, go outside, wear sunscreen, advoid any food products, etc.If anyone had treatment for scarring from bouts of acne, such as laser resurfacing, dermabrasion,...?
I had microderma and chemical peels, but not for acne (I think you cannot have either on active acne). I had them for scars, wrinkles and age spots. The glycolic peel had no effect. Microdermabrasion worked well. I had 8 sessions and ,y face looks much better now. You cannot go in the sun for at least a week and wear high SPF for 3 months after the procedure. You cannot combine microderma with any other exfoliating procedure like dermabrasion, laser or chemical peels. You need to let your skin heal between these procedures.


STop smoking, drink lots of water and eat as many fresh vegetables as you can.


Hope this helps.
