Does CO2 laser help with keloids on the body and scars that dip inwards?

Cassied92May 5, 2020
Can cO2 laser be used on body parts that are not face/chest/and neck, like full back/butt/legs as well as stomach/breast&all that? I hear that it can kill precancerous skin cells as well as getting rid of sun damage&age spots? Does it help fully get rid of deep scars&keloids as well boost up sagging skin&increase collagen long term? Should you get a cO2 laser resurfacing treatment done every 5-10 years to help keep up since it does last years if done right in one treatment?

I find that hyfrecators do better than co2, but I suggest seeing an expert someone who does this very frequently, pre and post skincare treatment is very important.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It looks like the bulbous nature of your nose is due to the thickness and shape of the tip cartilages. A rhinoplasty would be appropriate first, with the possibility of using Accutane in low does to improve the skin thickness.
