Hello Im a female asian with type II skin. I got co2 laser done 4 times (spaced 1 month apart) and the last one was 2 months ago. I noticed I have these gridline patterns, orange-peel texture, and shallow pinprick holes that seem to get worse and more visible when wearing makeup. The plastic surgeon who did this said that the energy used was 32 (I had no acne scars, just PIE and PIH). Could he possibly damaged my skin? Will these ever go away? And what products would you recommend?
Hi there, I got laser done three months ago and I dont know if this is normal healing or not. I have large patches of raised skin, and the majority of my skin is not healed yet. Its been three months and I read typical healing takes 10-14 days. Im really really scared this is permanent and I ended up worse than before. Thanks in advance.
I have not been out in the sun at all without is clinical spf 50+ sunscreen, giant sunglasses, and a large floppy hat. Other than a post op visit on day one (I wore a giant hat and glasses in the car) I didn't go out during daylight hours until post op day 6. Are these grid marks normal? How long before I should become concerned? My board certified plastic surgeons office is prescribing nothing other than the is clinical post op kit for post procedure skin at this point. Pre & 2 week pictures.

Thx.
I've had 3 rounds of CO2 laser around 6 weeks apart for acne scars. I healed within a week from the first 2 rounds. The third round left me with grid marks on my face. It's been about 8 weeks since my last round of CO2 and I still have grid marks on my face. They recommended that microneedling could help with the grid marks on my face, I had one round of micro needling and the grid marks are still on my face. Any recommendations to help get rid of the grid marks? afraid of permanent grid scars.
