Thanks for your question. You should have received post-op instructions on how to care for your skin. For my
patients, I recommend that they take 4x4 gauze soaked with cool or tepid
tap water and gently go over all resurfaced areas 6 times a day. You can mix 1
cup of water with 2 tsp of vinegar....
Higher risk of scarring, prolonged healing, prolonged redness, permanent redness, etc... Having said that, fully ablative CO2 lasers have advantages over other lasers- including better collagen stimulation and tissue coagulation. It really depends on the laser operator as well as your skin...
Stimulating collagen production with medically based skin care is paramount. I suggest Teoxane which will plump and hydrate your skin. You will see a visible change in 14 days. This product is only available in board certified physician offices.
