It started about one month after the treatment. I noticed my whole face looking tan and it was the dead of winter when I have minimal sun exposure. It soon became clear that it was the treated area getting darker. The untreated areas around the eyes kept their normal skin tone. I also still have vet fine grid patterns that have not totally faded. What could the darkening if the skin be and how could it be treated? Should grid pattern be gone? Doctor advised continual sunscreen.
As others with persisting tracklines Im worried as they seem to sometimes remain for a long time. Are they always due to bad/overlapping passes made by the provider? Here day 10&12 after treatment and NO change in lines since 7 days. Was instructed NOT to moisturize after procedure but make 10 min soaks with antiseptic+antibiotic cream twice daily until crust gone. Am I still healing and should be patient or should I worry about permanent damage and seek further treatment ASAP?
I had full ablative CO2 on my face four days ago, washing my twice a say and using Aquaphor. I have not started to peel and face is very red but no longer swollen. I planned to take one week off but due to a car accident two of my colleagues have passed away and I need to go back to work. What do I do? Suncream on top of the Aquaphor? Called my dermatologist but he is on holidays until the end of the week and the nurse was not sure what is the best.
Can it be possible my skin has been damaged? Or maybe im still healing? Is it unsafe to Dot below the eye? I was told it would be great for my skin. It is like patches of flesh color dots
I did CO2 laser resurfacing half a year ago. Now the area is still pretty red. Is it possible that my face will be like forever? For the lotion and cream I'm using right now, will they make my situation worth? Can I use cortizone-10 to help the redness?
I had co2 laser four weeks go on my face for acne scars. As the days go by, it looks like my scars are getting deeper. Im so upset. The doctor is being super fake and saying my skin looks absolutely amazing and I see no results besides my freckles being completely gone
I was using Vaseline and vinegar soaks and switched over to DML Lotion. I was considering using eucerin night cream redness relief. One because it is thick and I believe it can keep my skin moisturized and two it is supposed to help with the redness. Will there be any side effects to using a cream like this? Thank you
I am using aquaphor after reading reviews on this site, I also read comments about vinegar soaks, are Nsaids OK! I was told to avoid them so my body could experience the inflammatory response for healing...I am very swollen, red and oozing today....Advice would be helpful! Thanks
