Hi I got a Co2 laser, subcision and morpheus8 for my scarring. I have had previous RF microneedling and no problem. However after the laser my skin texture changed. I have hipermpigmentation but I also see orange peel and texture. Can doctors please confirm what happened? And if there is a solution for this what can I do? Is is scarring?
