I've a case of mild rhinophyma with a few prominent bumps on my nose. 2 weeks ago, I've received Co2 laser ablation targeting those bumps only. The skin has since healed up but still remains pink. Unfortunately, all the bumps are still present and looks same/worse than before. Doctor says it's still healing and the bumps will swell down after a few months. Is this the normal recovery process of CO2 laser treatment of rhinophyma? Please advise.
