I had belphaorplasty 9 weeks ago and they scar is still red and rasied. Will co2 laser work?
Answer: It is recommended to wait at least 4 weeks or more until incisions are completely healed Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: CO2 after blepharoplasty It is generally recommended to wait at least 6 months to a year after blepharoplasty before undergoing CO2 laser treatment on the eyelids. This allows sufficient time for the healing process and for any potential complications to resolve. However, the exact timing may depend on individual factors and the recommendations of your surgeon. It's important to discuss your specific situation and goals with your plastic surgeon to determine the best timing for your treatment.
