Please, may I ask for some help, I am panicking, and really could do with some peace of mind. It is the third day since I had my C02 Laser Resurfacing (Factional I think), and I just feel I am not heeling as well as I should be. Looking at day 2 & 3 I also have laser lines at the bottom of my cheek which I am worried they will not go. Looking at other patients progress online, they are almost fully healed by day 3-4, I still look "open" and too red. Do I seem to be healing ok? I am worried..

Thank you for your question. I understand you have concerns about your skin texture, fine lines, and scars, and wonder if you should have a neck lift or CO2 laser treatment. You also state that you do not want a facelift. Many people often have conflicting ideas about neck lifts and CO2 laser,...
Fractional laser should be combined with Sculptra and Radiesse in your case to help achieve the results you are requesting around the mouth. Fillers and laser resurfacing work very well together. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
