Hi suki, i am asian too! i am healing fine. I had a lot of brown spots from hyperpigmentation where my doctor went deeper but he prescribed me some cream and those are now fading. I had my CO2 back in the end of May. My skin is really sensitive and I used vaseline and aquaphor and it made my skin break out. I was really seeing improvement!! but now with the breakout and my skin is practically like baby skin all fresh and new it's really scaring it yet again. I have some dark red spots that are new acne scars after my C02! If I didn't have those I would say my skin looks like new! Overall grid marks are sort of gone and some brown marks left but slowly fading, fresh new red marks from new ance scarring. :( but overall i am happy. I want to do this one more time...this time I want to make sure my skin won't break out again after c02! let me know your email. I can email you some pictures.

I noticed some changes. my skin looks smoother. I've had my procedure 4 weeks ago. my skin is still pink from where my doctor went deeper with the laser. Also i don't know what's wrong but im breaking out like crazy with little white heads here and there. now im getting bigger ones. Don't know why. they are getting red looking and i feel like ive wasted my money because my skin looked nice and then now im breaking out and the scars are coming back! ugh. never ending. my doctor gave me some antibiotics to take but so far im still breaking out. im wondering if its because of the grids no idea. I still have the grid marks and redness on my cheeks. My face was less spot colored before surgery now it has more brown and red spots but my skin is smoother. i dont see how i cannot wear make up. the dark spots still show...

Hi there! Omg i love your post! it's so informational...i just have to ask how are your acne scars are today? I just got my dot therapy done yesterday and i have been sitting at home all day doing nothing! My doctor is also Dr. Key and I was just telling my sister how lovely him and all his staff to be. They were very nice to me and make me feel at home. I also got this done because i have bad acne scars..ive had them all my life and wanted to get rid of them or just make them look less deep you know? For me, the treatment did sting a little and my face was a little bit hot when i got home but all in all it wasn't that swollen or red. I noticed the dark brown grid looking marks as soon as i got home, they are also still there today. My question is when will i start peeling? I want to go places so bad but the brown spots are all over my face and it's really freaky! :o I have a follow up with dr key on Monday which will be day 5 for me. Tomorrow is day there and i hope my face will look better tomorrow. I don't really have much problem keeping my face moisturized, it's just really tight and kind of dry in the morning when i wake up but other than that i do compresses at least 4 times today and keep hydro and vaseline on my face all day. I am even breaking out with little white heads all over face due to all the moisturizing! Well any info you can give me helps! Thanks!

I just got the dot done on thursday so i am now on day 2, can anyone tell me how long till i peel? I so do want to go out in public but i have brown spots all over my face still from the grid. I have to go back to work on Tuesday so i am hoping all is peeled before then!! omg i am so freaked out!

hello, i just got my smartxide done today....and it's still red and tender, for the most part my skin looks burnt, since i am tanned skin they look like burnt little brown dots. don't know if this is normal...i guess i thought the dots would look white but....with that saying it looks like dead skin for the most part. in some areas, i have slight bleeding because the doctor used a little more aggressiveness there since i have acne scarring on my cheeks the most! i hope this is all worth it...i look in the mirror and realize how ugly i look!! i have to go back to work on tuesdsay. I will keep you guys postedd!! yes I finally jumped the gun and did it!!
