I got the co2 laser done on 19th Tuesday and it is now its Saturday the 24th. My skin had peeled off but the skin underneath looks like sandpaper. I have so many indentations on my face now, It so textured and bumpy. From what ive seen when the skin comes off it reveals soft and smooth looking skin. Im worried that it hasn't healed correctly. Im scared the doctor who did it was careless and went too deep and its now going to cause scarring from all these indents. Is this normal?
I have searched the entire website, the internet and called my doctor but I still have no answer. I am almost 2 months post op and my skin in the last two weeks feels bumpy-like a million tiny bumps under the skin ( they look like milia but cant be removed). My pores suddenly look giant and makeup looks bad.The question has been asked many times, but no direct answer. Is the orange peel texture a complication, a part of the healing process, is it permanent?
I underwent Co2 treatment 22 days ago and around 5th day after areas on both cheeks seemed to get a bit bumpy, with visible lines between laser shots. The whole area on the cheeks seems to be swollen, whereas my chin seems to cure correctly. I was hoping this would flatten over time, but it persists although the redness is slowly going away. I had multiple co2 treatments in the past (I'm 30) for acne scars and I've never experiences anything like this. What can be the reason and how to cure it?
I had a Co2 laser done 6 days ago around my orbital area and some scabs have slowly come off.However, I noticed that the skin underneath appears to still be elevated and bumpy like it was before the treatment. Is this normal? Will it flatten off over time? My doctor told me that I require only one treatment to get rid of it. Do I need a second treatment?

My skin was smooth before but now it is lumpy, bumpy and red with demarcation lines still showing. It is 6 months post procedure. I made the big mistake of not getting this done by a Doctor, just some guy in a clinic. I went back and he was dismissive. Will the lumpy bumpy skin go away or is the fat pad damaged? What would you recommend to fix this? Thanks for your time.
I got a CO2 laser treatment done 13 days ago. Initially, my skin was smooth but red. However, the skin on my cheeks has become rough and bumpy. It is only visible when up close, but each little dot before has turned into a tiny raised bump. Similar to a rash, but not itchy or red. In addition, my nose just peels and flakes continually. I assume that my skin is healing and might just be very dry. Should I be concerned or is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Is this normal?
