I had Laser resurfacing 2 weeks ago and am experiencing what I can only call as painful acne (I have never had any acne issues before) around my mouth and eye areas that do not seem to be getting any better. I also have swelling of lower part of my face and wanted to find out if this in normal or anything I should be concerned with?
I agree with the other posters that you should check in with your doctor. Acne is possible but usually not painful. Herpes reactivation is possible and treatment may help. The rash you describe is also possible with topical bacitracin allergy-- if you are using it.
I had laser lipolysis on my neck three weeks ago, and have noticed that I have lumps which correspond to creases in the compression bandage I wore. Are these creases permanent, and what can I do (or have done *sigh*)?
If the neck creases were caused by the compressive dressing that you wore following your laser lipolysis procedure, then the creases should smooth out over time. Light massage of the area will also break up any abnormal scar bands that may have formed betweenyour neck skin and the underlying muscle. I would also not get too worried about small irregularities in the surface texture of your neck at this point. If the procedure was performed appropriately then you should end up with a smooth and well contoured neck. If you should have any concerns, you should discuss this with your surgeon.
How long until you see laser resurfacing results for under eyes only. It was the coherent co2 laser.
The effects of CO2 laser resurfacing of the lower lids will be immediate and will continue to improve the texture of the skin for the next several months to a year. Any prolonged erythema of the area should be evaluated by your surgeon, however, the particular type of laser resurfacing you had performed will leave the eyes red for several weeks. Be patient and follow the post-procedure instructions.
