CO2 Laser Safe After Silicone Injections
It is safe for you to get CO2 laser treatments after having had silicone injections. My Father and colleague has been injecting silicone for over 40 years and myself over 5 years, and many of our patients go on to safely have all different types of laser treatments. Hope this helps!

I had the affirm/co2 laser and had microdroplets of silicone years ago...since I had 3 treatments of laser it has caused inflammation and swelling in the face...so studies show silicone causes a heatsink affect which in turn will make the situation worse..I would say stay clear from the co2 laser hope this helps
