6 months post Fractional CO2 laser and I still have lumpy bumpy skin, with red demarcation lines.

Asked By:Sarah1520 in Atlanta, GA

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.
