I have kertosis pilaris on the face and it's red scaly sandpaper like thick skin. I wanted to get V-beam laser first to adress the red areas but afterwards do a CO2 laser for the texture of the rough scaly sandpaper thick like skin. What's ur opinion or should I only do one laser or a different one or both?

Laser resurfacing will require about a week of downtime until you are back into makeup. You'll have a much faster recovery with Erbium than CO2. Erbium is more precise in terms of it's ability to target water in your skin and thus generates less heat and inflammation.
