Managed to post photo (I hope). It's one day after co2 fractional laser, complete face and eyes. Still swollen, but am concerned about hound dog look. Same plastic surgeon performed laser as did prior lower lid lift 4 years earlier. Is this common?

I would definitely start with a combination of Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to reduce the pigmentation after a co2 laser. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
I would suggest seeing a Medical Esthetician who is trained in treating skin after a CO2 treatment.
Here at our office our medical esthetician always give our patients a post skin care treatment which
helps exfoliate the dry skin.
Good luck to you.
The density of fractional laser resurfacing and your skin type will play an important part regarding intervals. For fair skin, I usually wait 4-10 weeks, for darker skin types, usually 6-12 weeks. The use of SPF and bleaching agents can also help reduce unwanted pigmentation between treatments....
