these scars were once pimples I popped as a teen of course Ive done multiple picosure sessions, another resurfacing laser (2x) and have had 4 microneedling sessions.. it has improved in appearance but I want them gone, would I be a candidate for ablative? Saw ablative remove papules from Asian patient. Ive spent a lot and would just love to spend on what will be best. Thanks, I have oily skin btw.
While I was sleeping I rolled on my right side. I had put a clean towel down to be safe and I woke to some scabs that had come off and a weird red pimple. Should I worry if it doesn't go away in the next day or two or is this something relatively common? Maybe because the area had dried out or the friction from my face rubbing?
In the area that was lasered?? Im not sure what I can do or use but it has been 6 months since fractional co2. The pimple is so big and puss filled it looks like it may need a steroid injection.
Hello.My skin is very oily and I am forming blackheads once again while also having a few pimples. I've read that Isotretinoin is interfering with collagen production after co2 laser treatments. Is it ok if I start on a low dosage Isotretinoin at this time or do I have to wait a bit longer?
I am 6 weeks post co2 laser and I'm very red with hyperpigmentation. I also have lots of breakouts, big pimples.I've been advised to use hydroquinone and retina a but I'm really afraid to put anything on my skin. And I feel like I have even more lines. He said he went deep but I never peeled or scabbed. I used aquaphor for 2 weeks per the doctor.
I have had scar revision surgery on the two scars between my eyes (please see pictures). They were extremely pitted scars I got from deep painful pimples. I am still very unhappy after the scar revision surgery and want to improve how they look. I feel I would like to do CO2 laser based on consults I have been to and reading I have done. What do you think? Thanks!
