I previously asked and the answer did not include a response in regard to the lines. I had CO2 Deka Dot on 10/3 laser was set at 8. Since then I had alot of problems. IPL and Chemical Peel has helped all the Brown and Redness. However I still have very deep engraved lines on my ENTIRE face they are certainly from the Laser. I have seen nothing n regard to this. What is it? Is it likely to go away? had Laser Genesis 2 times and there still there. Huge pores everywhere and dark indentations?

The deep engraved lines is strange and I wonder if it is scarring from the laser. I would have to see photos to really comment. The dark indentations could be improved through different means, subcision, excision, deep chemical peeling, etc. But I would wait at least 6m – 2 years before doing anything... more
