Answer: Skincare after Co2--add fraxel, microneedling/prp, radiofrequency, sculptra I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care and skin care recommendations. I recommend skin care with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone based scar gels with growth factors and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme. Sun protection is essential. Lasers like Co2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen. After Co2, I recommend adding fraxel lasers, microneedling/prp and radiofrequency treatments. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Retinoid use after fractional CO2 laser Thank you for your question randomlion. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an outstanding treatment that can address multiple aspects of aging in a single treatment. Retinoids may irritate the skin if used after a laser resurfacing treatment. Depeding on how aggressive the treatment is I recommend that my patients wait 1-2 weeks or more after such a treatment before restarting retinoids. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
