Hello, I am a 58 years old Japanese woman who just had CO2 resurfacing. The doctor did not use too strong a setting due to fear of PIH (which I have never had) and because I have few wrinkles. The face healed in 5 days except for very slight redness. The neck still has dark burn marks at 5 days but seems healed. How soon can I do Sofwave? I know some people do both together but my dr did not have Sofwave nor Ulthera. Thank you
