6 days po CO2 laser treatment to my face and today I am very swollen in my eyes, forehead, and cheeks. Is this normal? (Photos)

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. We have a specific protocol. I recommend skin care with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone based scar gels with growth factors and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme to give improvement. PDT therapy can calm inflammation. Sun protection is essential. Lasers like Co2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen. After Co2, I recommend adding fraxel lasers, microneedling/prp and radiofrequency treatments. Best, Dr. Emer
 

the most important factor in obtaining a good result from your cosmetic procedure is the person you elect to perform it.Your provider should be able to determine what is the next step in your care. There are many possibilities and they can not be assessed on the internet, you need to be examined in person 

After a laser procedure, the skin requires the utmost of TLC. The superficial aspect of the skin was taken away, weakening the barrier for infection. Medications are often given to keep away infection and local care is taken to protect the skin. You may wish to call your doctor's office and be seen by the surgeon for a followup examination. All of your questions are great questions and can be answered by getting a good up-close view and feel of the skin!
