What Should I Expect After Mixto CO2 Laser Treatments? Just had Mixto two days ago and would like to hear from someone who has done this as to what to expect day by day. I have just found this site and after reading some of these posts am more than a little bit afraid that results will not be good. Right now I am a bit puffy and still red with some oozing. I think this is normal. What should I expect day by day with Mixto?

A: What to expect after the Mixto Fractional CO2

First, before I answer, let me say that without knowing which handpiece and settings were used, your skin color, conditions, etc. this is just a generalized answer as to what my experience with my own patients has been.

That being said, there are various levels of depth that can be done with the Mixto. For patients that want a mild, but rejuvenated and refreshed look, with minimal downtime, I could do the Mixto at a lower setting, with 5-7 days of redness or downtime.

With patients who want more tightening, or may have deeper lines, wrinkles, scarring, etc. the downtime could be 2-3 weeks or more. We as doctors can control the depth, and base it on the results and downtime that the patient desires.

It is an amazing treatment, and one of the top treatments in our office. With an experienced doctor, this treatment delivers outstanding results. The before and afters in our office speak for themselves.
