I'd be interested to hear what your panel thinks of using fractionated CO2 lasers for skin tightening of laxity of skin in the knee region. I have no photos to provide.

We typically use Melarase creams after fractional co2 for the face in order to even out skin tone and prevent hyperpigmentation. These options are excellent for skin rejuvenation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. I try to avoid unnecessary creams after CO2 resurfacing as they can induce a negative outcome due to the preservatives present in open skin. I hope this helps!

Proper wound care and application of a cortisone ointment may be helpful. We would begin you on Melarase creams and Replenish Retinoid Cream to help reduce the chance of scar visibility. Speak to your surgeon. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
