I had a fractional CO2 treatment almost 6 weeks ago, what products should I be using?

Question

I'm using Obagi gentle cleanser, Regenica Repair (growth factors), Cereve moisturizer, and of course SPF. Should I add some Vitamin C serum or Retinol at this point? My skin is healed but still slightly pink. Thanks!!

I recommend following up with your Doctor's about their skin care recommendations after treatment. I recommend photodynamic therapy, skin care and peels to improve redness. 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question Skingal99. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an
outstanding treatment that can address multiple aspects of aging in a single
treatment. Using an appropriate skin care regimen will enhance the effects of the treatment. Depending on the individual different products may be recommended. Products I recommend for my patients include sunscreen, hydroquinone, kojic acid, retinoids, growth factors, Alastin Skin Nectar, vitamins C and E, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and moisturizers. Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations. Good luck!
