“How long does it take to get rid of the redness after being treated with co2 fractional laser ”
Laser resurfacing: NOT worth it
Cost: $1,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Laser resurfacing satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Laser resurfacing provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: it feels like my skin is even worse after the procedure.
I was treated with CO2 fractional laser for acne scar on my whole face four weeks ago, now it is still pretty red and I feel hopeless because it seems like my skin is getting worse.
Is there any possibility that my skin can turn back to normal color........

I had redness for 4 weeks for the first treatment and it went away. Second treatment, redness went away after one week. I used a stronger steroid and lots of mederma. I used sunscreen and hat anytime and avoided the sun like the plague. Drinking, smoking, dryness, makes it worse. Keep skin moist, out of the sun, maybe get prednisone. It gets better.
