Asked By:Farm26 in England

I have very white,sensitive skin,with acne scarring. I worry that fractional CO2 laser will cause other long term damage to my skin, although I have been advised by various doctors that around 5-6 sessions of fractional CO2 is the best solution for me. Any advice to my concern?
