How Long Should the Redness and Blotchiness Last After Co2 Fractional Laser, It is 12 Weeks

Depending on the type and intensity of the treatment, redness can last days to months.  In your case, if your skin has already healed completely (which it should have), you may benefit from topical steroid cream.  Make sure you are using high quality skin products and aggressively avoiding the sun.

Of course, you should follow up with the surgeon who performed your laser procedure.  This may be difficult with the outfit you chose, but you should insist.  Otherwise, you may have to pay to see a non LSL physician who performs CO2 laser resurfacing.  Keep in mind, I am not advising you to start a new treatment without speaking to your doctor first.

Best of luck to you!

 

Thank you for your question. Redness from a CO2 laser will take many months to resolve. There are lasers that you can use that can help the redness go away faster. Best wishes

Thank you for your question,
I definitively advise that you go back to your doctor for a follow up. Swelling and redness can be expected for some weeks post laser, but 12 weeks seem long.
