I had a Co2 laser done 6 days ago around my orbital area and some scabs have slowly come off.However, I noticed that the skin underneath appears to still be elevated and bumpy like it was before the treatment. Is this normal? Will it flatten off over time? My doctor told me that I require only one treatment to get rid of it. Do I need a second treatment? Thanks in advance.

Co2 laser can be used but it really isnt typically needed and has a much higher risk of complications. Radiofrequency or erbium with microneedling PRP are much safer. Best, Dr. Emer.
I suggest speaking to your physician, you need to be on the appropriate skin care at this time to prevent any scarring or hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. Emer.
