How long does it take for the skin to smooth out from Fractional CO2 laser?

January 5, 2022
Asked By:gojilla in Arcadia, California

I saw photos and videos of fractional co2 lasers where the skin looks rough and has either a matrix pattern on it or tiny holes. If I get fractional co2 done how many days do I need to wait until these lines or holes or the sandpaper skin becomes regular smooth skin again?
