Over the last 2 years I have done 3 sessions of IPL, 1 session of BBL / Moxi Laser &; Chemical Peels. I use Vitamin C, Tretinoin & Sunscreen every day. Despite all my efforts I can NOT get these red marks on my face to go away. I feel very dishearten. Will a C02 Laser be my final answer? Or another recommendation?
I did my tca30% cross for my minor scars and left for 2 hours. Now I'm left with brown marks and scarring. My dr did 1 picosure and prp injection 3 days back but I see no improvement at all. Is co2 a better option as I also want to get rid of scars and open pores.
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.
62 yr old. Recovering from full face lift eye and eyebrow lift. Had one Co2 laser treatment done a month ago. Peeled normally, but the redness didn't go away. Iced, Aquaphor, vinegar baths. Sides of my face have marks where the laser went, lighter spots on my chin and a few areas where the skin rubbed then bled. Have areas where blood spot has dried but afraid to do anything to it except alcohol. Dr. prescribed a steroid cream, which took redness away some. Looked like I went through a car windshield.
For texture and skin tightening? I had a CO2 fractional laser 2 months ago which has changed the texture of my skin. It has left needlepoint marks all over my skin. I am looking for a more dramatic improvement.
After 5 weeks no improvement regarding marks on my cheeks after CO2 procedure. Texture is bumpy, shiny, waxy, hypertrophic scar alike with visible dents after laser. It appeared 5 days postprocedure. No topical corticosteroids seem to work. I've seen 4 doctors, 3 told me it will go away, but it isn't happenning. Is it possible to destroy collagen production in order to create such a permanent scar? What is left? Steroid injections? Please help.
26 days post DOT laser resurfacing on my entire face. I am developing hyper pigmentation . I am avoiding sun, using sunblock. Do I get rid of this discoloration? How long do I use hydrocortisone or hydroquinone. How long will it take for brown marks to disappear? Does indirect sunlight affect the skin? How long does the result of laser will last? My skin color is 3, in the scale of 1 to 10, 1 being white. Thank you in advance
