Ronnie Dawood, MD

I did this several years ago, and I took at least one picture every day. Yes, our look like a god awful mess, but there is zero pain after the procedure. And I was extremely happy with the end results. The only reason I haven’t is the downtime-you won’t leave the house for at least 2 weeks- but you will have skin like a newborn baby after!
The procedure itself was tolerable but it definitely hurt when the laser was applied (which is very fat). I had a lot of texture issues on my chin, so Dr. Dawood did a second pass there, thus it took longer to heal.
I really liked the affect on my upper eyelids! No more creases!
Btw, the areas you think it will hurt (delicate areas) don’t, and the areas you expect to be more tolerant are not, lol.

I forgot to mention the oozing. It is tapering off here. I wore a towel pinned around my neck like a bib to catch drips. I was also told to put aquafor all over my face, day and night, to keep it moist

Major scabbing and peeling. Incredibly hard not to pick at!
My husband still refuses to eat in my presence, much less look at me????

Eyes are bloodshot (expected). Pattern on my forehead is funny most of the skin has peeled (I am have helped that a bit)

Still swollen. The chin area that got a double pass is lagging in the healing dept.

Looking much better but still definitely red

First day out! I got some green color corrector (prior to procedure) to cancel out the red so I could go to my daughters soccer game. I also have on makeup base to cover the scabby chin and redness

I had a lot of pigmentation and fine lines that are not evident in the first picture, but trust me they were there. My friends could not get over how good my skin looked, despite the chin area taking longer to heal

Because I am addicted to this website, lol, I continue to read other peoples stories about Co2 laser treatment. One thing I’ve notices in others pictures is a ,it of ‘space’ in between the last squats. To me this is looks like a shoddy job. You are not getting full coverage.
And something I saw that was ALARMING to me- someone posted a picture and mentioned the the greasy stuff was just Crisco! Crisco? WTH? I ope that was a joke. You have to use Aquaphor because I hydrates and lets the skin breath. Vaseline does not, and Crisco is for baking!
