How can I treat a rough, bumpy, sponge-like skin 7 months after CO2 laser?

Question

Had a CO2 laser and February 2018 face is still very rough bumpy large pores like sponge. Looking and feels leathery.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. I recommend skin care with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone based scar gels with growth factors and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme to give improvement. PDT therapy can calm inflammation. Sun protection is essential. Lasers like Co2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen. After Co2, I recommend adding fraxel lasers, microneedling/prp and radiofrequency treatments. Best, Dr. Emer
