Any suggestions for C02 Laser and Radiesse?

CitySphinxJun 8, 2016
I am very dissatisfied with my Radiesse results and I went to see an expert who told me he could try c02 laser to try and speed up the dissolution. He was honest and said it wouldn't get rid of it entirely but could help speed up the process. I have however read that c02 laser is collagen building and could in fact make the appearance of Radiesse worse - is this true? Has any Dr used this to help a patient dissatisfied with Radiesse?
