My skin is pink even after 1 week of fraxel CO2 laser. What should I do?

In my opinion, when you are treating facial scars rather than normal skin, they remain red for a longer time.. I would not be concerned about one week of erythema. You may want to try a growth factor serum. This has the tendency to reduce redness as well as speed healing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Scars can remain red to pink for weeks to months following Co2 laser. This can be a good thing as the blood supply feeds new collagen. If you can tolerate the redness it will fade with each going week. However if the redness still bothers you, a series of simple V BEAM or pulse dye laser treatments can be highly effective. My advice is to see your practitioner in person and discuss treatment options.
