Uptowncount..Congratulations to you!
One thing I want to let you know, I have had the CO2 Laser twice. The second time was in February and the doctor did a little more around my mouth and lips. It has taken nearly two and a half months for that redness to subside. It looks really good, but I am very cautious about putting on lots of sunscreen and my overall face looks better every week. I think that the full results are seen at four or five months...SO don't give up and be really gentle with yourself and your face.
P.S. I also did my eyes (CO2) and that was AMAZING. Looks like an eyelift and I am going back to do one more time.
Wow! I just had the co2 Laser on Wednesday. Same as you...looked awful. When I got home that night I found this site and it really helped me in comparing notes. Today is the 3rd day and my skin is really red and starting to peel just a little. Feels really tight and uncomfortable. Am keeping it moist. What are you putting on your skin. Aqualube is what I am using. I'm thinking to go tomorrow and getting some vitamin E. I may scare the folks at the drug store! I think this redness is going to take a LONG time before it
subsides!! Maybe months????
