What is the solution for acne after CO2 fractional laser? (Photo)

Question

I had a Co2 fractional laser treatment one month and a half ago and my ane just got worse. Now my face is full of red pigmentation because my acne is under the skin and I think it's cystic acne. Should I take accutane? And is there any other solution that might help my skin because I have a difficulty in swallowing pills? Also, my pores are still in the same large size even after the laser, so what are the recomendaciones for minimizing them? Thank you.

I would use Elevase Moisture Booster to correct hydration followed by Clarase acne wash to help reduce breakouts. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

In some cases acne worsens post laser due to the occlusive emollient you use. Your specialist all have their own regime to help decrease your acne. The use of LEDs, topical steroids short term, pulse dye laser, vascular laser and a course of antibiotics and light skin care can certainly help. Let your specialist guide you as to what they prefer. All the best, Dr Davin Lim
