Fractionated CO2 Laser brown holes?

February 13, 2019
Asked By:bigbird24 in California, CA

i’m about 2 hours post op of fractionated CO2 laser on my cheeks and my face looks different than others who get CO2? usually they are red with white dots in a pattern on their face but my face is bleeding with brown dots really close to each other, what differences am I experiencing right now? I’m afraid my skin will look similar to the pattern it has now, large brown spots.
