It is going to be 2 months now since I had CO2 treatment with CO2RE from Candela. I had mostly CO2Mid and for deeper scars the Fusion mode. I had it done on the T zone and then on a few spots. I am becoming anxious about the results, since the redness is still visible and also some texture from the laser. Is this normal? Can something help?
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
Hi there, About 2 months ago I had co2 fractional laser treatment done to my face for a few mild acne scars only, now it appears my skin has hyperpigmentation more scarring, and my pores appear larger. So far I see no results, only my skin looking worse. So are these my final results? I'm feeling very regretful for doing this procedure, and feel like fixing it. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
I had one treatment of c02 laser done due to freckles during a visit in Malaysia. I live in Florida. After I came back the skin has this big brown spots. The doctor there is not helping much. Its over 2 months now. Nothing is helping as far as apple cider vinegar, almond oil, lightening cream. Have met a dermatologist. No help. I am going through a low time due to this. Stuck at home and embarrassed. Please help me to see what can I do please please help.
Had a face, neck lift. Eyes and forehead lift done also. Added on laser for the wrinkles as an afterthought. Had ZERO info on laser. Didn't even know what kind. I only got info after the procedure for a chemical peel with co2 laser written in. Said it would take 7-12+ days. Been 2 months. Miserable. I still have the marks from the laser. I think they went too deep. How long should this take? I healed nicely from the plastic surgery. My concern is that this is permanent.
I had a fully ablative co2 laser (not fractionated) procedure done 2 months ago on my cheek for a scar. I'm wondering how long my skin will be red and shiny for? Will the shininess and redness ever really go away?
I have searched the entire website, the internet and called my doctor but I still have no answer. I am almost 2 months post op and my skin in the last two weeks feels bumpy-like a million tiny bumps under the skin ( they look like milia but cant be removed). My pores suddenly look giant and makeup looks bad.The question has been asked many times, but no direct answer. Is the orange peel texture a complication, a part of the healing process, is it permanent?
I had a skin resurfacing treatment 7 weeks ago, and my skin is still red. I feel like its not healing at all (very very slow). My doctor told me that the redness should be gone after 4-6 weeks but the redness is still there. Is there a possibillity that the redness will not go away and stay forever? Im really scared. My doctor told me that he used the laser in the maximum depth to remove scars - is that the reason why the healing process does take so much time? Can i speed up the recovery ?
I had a fractional CO2 Laser two months ago on my cheeks for acne scars, is it normal that until now my cheeks look red and demarcation line is very visible? My dermatologist said that my cheeks will just return to its normal color over time. If it's true, how long will it take to return to its normal color?
I did co2 laser resurfacing 8 weeks and the wrinkles on my upper lip have come back. Initial around 3 weeks they were gone and notice them coming back around 6 weeks. The whole reason I went through this terrifying process was for my upper lip. Any other treatments for that area ? And is this it or will they go away over time ?
