I had a co2 laser treatment 7 months ago. And it's still red where laser used. But not so agressively. I don't wanna get another treatment for this, because last 7 months was nightmare for me. I just wanna know, can this redness go away itself in time? If we think the worst scenario, redness can be permanent?

Answer: Redness after Fractional CO2 laser Don't worry! It's on the long end of normal to still have redness after seven months, but from a microscopic perspective, the healing process takes twelve to fifteen months. It just means your collagen layers are still reorganizing and tightening.

Answer: Post C02 Treatments The CO2 laser is a very powerful laser that resurfaces your skin, stimulating collagen.The CO2 laser removes small columns of tissue in your skin in which new skin is generated (leaving those lines that you notice). Some of this regeneration happens immediately, but the bulk of the collagen will generate within three months. To protect your newly generated skin, it is crucial to follow your performing practitioners post op instructions to optimize your results. Redness can persist for several months so it is not totally uncommon at your stage of healing. If you do feel concerned, contact your plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation of the condition of your skin. In the meantime, continue persistent use of sunscreen and keep the skin hydrated at all times.
