I have had 2 Erbuim treatments and still have not had a great deal of change?

Question

show my doctor be incorporating co2 with erbium

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

There are many treatment titrations for co2 laser skin resurfacing. I would prep the skin with Melarase creams followed by fractional co2 laser skin resurfacing. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is difficult to answer without pictures. Fraxel or Co2 are best for resurfacing, but Erbium is a great alternative. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp for more robust outcomes. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.
Erbium and CO2 are both good laser, but it all depend of your condition or issues you are trying to improve.Without any specification or photo it is hard for me to answer precisely your question. You should talk about it with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist trained in laser.

Depends on your aims, expectations and most importantly downtime. Adding CO2 can certainly help, however understanding your end goals and your expectations are vitally important. Additional your skin type and down time all play a role in designing a laser program for your skin. All the best, Dr Davin Lim, Laser dermatologist. Brisbane. Australia.
