I had Q-switch laser done on my face today, at setting 1.5 for about three minutes. I can't even tell where the doctor passed the laser. I am scheduled to do smartxide CO2 laser on my face in two days (with a different doctor). I was told I need to wait two weeks before doing the CO2 laser. But why?
