Thank you for the information and for your time. However, I believe the question was what can be done after hypopigmentation has already resulted. Are any treatments known to be effective for correcting hypopigmentation caused by CO2 laser treatment? Any success stories out there? Thank you.
I had fractional CO2 laser done Feb. 26. What should I be expecting to see as of this date (April 5, 2010)? At about the third week after my laser I really liked what I saw when looking at myself. Now today Im hoping I didnot waste my hard earned money. Am I expecting results to soon? Doctors feed back or somebody who has had c02 laser resurfacing.

Hi community, I’m looking for a bit of hope and reassurance . I had C02 under my eyes four weeks ago and about two weeks ago developed darkness (brown like tanned skin) and redness under my eyes.

Hello - Is it normal to have somewhat enlarged pores right after the five day healing period? Just very nervous after reading (after I had this done) about potential long-term orange peel skin texture. I did call the clinician and she said only one other person has asked that question and she notices that after she has done it on herself that her pores are a little enlarged but go back to...
Hi I read somewhere that a CO2 laser treatment would remove my rosacea. But I also heard that it can worsen the condition. Help :-)
Does the laser really build colleges when addressing acne scars or is this a marketing ploy?
Anyone have a successful outcome with CO2 laser resurfacing for the face. I'm looking for a specialist in the Chicago area and would really like a recommendation from a patient. This is for deep wrinkles and aging skin.Thanks
The CO2 laser is a carbon dioxide laser used for skin resurfacing and remolding scars, precisely, it removes the outer layers of damaged skin to reveal skin that is softer, smoother, and younger looking. Its effects are similar to those of chemical peels and dermabrasion, except that the laser removes skin layers by vaporization rather than with chemicals or...

I am scheduled for a CO2 skin resurfacing under my eyes only. I'm worried about the down time as I only have 5 days off before I have to go back to work. Has anyone else had this exact procedure and what did you look like after the 5th day? And were you happy with the results? Thanks!!
