I have rosacea and sensitive skin - is it normal to be red still 45 days after a CO2 laser treatment? (photos)

Question

I performed a whole face treatment with a fractionated Co2 laser 45 days ago and my skin is still very red. I have rosacea and sensitive skin. Before performing the procedure, I informed the doctor about this, and asked him to make a more superficial parameter, but at the end of the treatment he told me that he had done something deeper. is it normal to be red for so long?

It seems your skin may be irritated. This usually lasts about a month or so. You'll want to prioritize rich hydration and sun protection for your skin (see link). Seek out an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
