Can I have a Thermage and Fraxel treatment on the same day? If not what is the recommended wait time between the two treatments?
I know that there are excellent offices who do this but it's a lot to take on in one day.  The Thermage should be done first, in my opinion.  I would recommend waiting at least 2-3 days before doing the Fraxel to allow any swelling to go down.    Dr. I
