I have acne scarring my dermatologist is telling me that I cannot get C02 and pico laser because I have vitiligo on my legs and it can come on my face if i get ablative laser. I really need to get my scars treated. Pleas advise
I got C02 fractional laser resurfacing on my arms and legs in hope to minimize the scars I have there. It has been two months and all the spots where the scars were look red or brown and there are patches of brown (shaped like a rectangle) and it doesn't seem to be getting any better! Please let me know what to do/help
i had co2 ebrium laser two years ago for treatment of old stretch marks. After initial treatment i had a lot of dark brown spots on the back of my legs and the buttock area. 19 months in of using obagi and tretonoin i still have discolouration. The spots have got lighter but are still there. On my left leg i have a big patch of reddish/white blotches, looks like 'cornbeef skin', and have dark red patches that have seemed to taken up home in the tracks of my stretch marks on my right.
I had Co2 on my face 20 yrs ago with great results . I had IPL at highest Joul number & only slightly effective . I am naturally blond , 68 years old & have unsightly red , brown scaly spots all over the front of both legs .
I had my procedure on 9/14/16. I still have the discoloration from the procedure and also my skin is like sandpaper and I have more wrinkles especially around my knees, actually creases now! How long before they go back to normal, even if this procedure does not work, will the skin on my legs at least go back to the way they were: no discoloration and way less dryness and wrinkled skin??? That's all I'm hoping for at this point. (I am a caucasion female 56 years old.) Thank you
