Limit to Number of Times You Can Get CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

August 28, 2009
Asked By:Areta

I am 30 years old, 15 years ago I had terrible accident hence post-surgery scars on my face. My main aim is to make these scars look smaller.I have had two CO2 laser treatments so far. One was 10 years ago, another 5 years ago (so it’s been reasonable time break between them). I would like to do another CO2 treatment. The laser that my treatments were performed with was made by Sharplan. I was very happy with the results.But what is the limit of CO2 treatment done? It is very invasive procedure but if it helped me already I would like to get it done as many times as I possibly can (of course with reasonable time breaks).Full details and photos are located in my review (link below).
