How long will my skin be red and shiny for? I am 2 months post ablative CO2 laser procedure (Photo)

It takes several weeks for laser results to settle. I recommend following up with your Doctor for after care. I recommend skin care with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone based scar gels with growth factors and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme. PDT therapy can help calm inflammation. Typically I recommend adding clear and brilliant, fraxel, viva 4-6 weeks after co2 to improve results along with microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes with texture and tone.  Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I suggest a check up from your dermatologist or plastics. Redness with FULLY ablative laser can last up to 6 months. Your specialist can find methods including PDL and vascular lasers to speed up the process. This is Universally done. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
