The texture on my neck appears almost slightly scaled. It is soft but uneven feeling. Would CO2 help this? I tried CO2 on my face for enlarged pores about two months ago and it didn’t do much. But everything I read said this is such an effective laser so not sure what else to try. Maybe it would be more effective for the neck texture? Thank you.
