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?
I had CO2 laser done on my left temple four months ago. I received a total of two treatments so far with some improvement I was rated at 40% to 60%. I am undergoing treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation at the moment but I wonder if I still want further improvement should I do more laser sessions or switch to another treatment and if so please let me know which ones?
I had mixto fractional co2 laser 3 weeks ago and I developed PIH after. I have been on hydroquinone 4% for one week now I see little improvement. I will be doing a gylcolic peel in 2 weeks will that resolve my Problem?
Attached photos are 10 days post-op from Total Fx. Still pretty significant day 14 (no photos). Deep Fx to acne scars, predominantly on jawline/cheeks. Settings: 17.5 mJ, density 4 Active Fx to entire face. Settings: 100 mj density 3. Active areas are slightly pink today but nearly normal but deep Fx areas are still very red. Q's: Is this amount of redness normal? Were settings reasonable, aggressive? Do you notice any PIH developing? How soon after CO2 is IPL/PDL safe to reduce redness.
