Should I use more gel for acne scars after the Fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm)? (Photo)

sadprintempsFeb 9, 2016
Dear Doctors, I had Co2 laser done last week ( February 2). After this laser treatment, i feel that my acne scars aren't improved better. It still existe deep scars on my cheeks. Should i use more gels for acne scar ( Mederma, Hiruscar post acne, Ultra Dermatix,...) to get the best treatment? How long will I use theses medecines? When ? ( after 5days from laser treatment). Thank you very much !

Targeted treatments are the best. I would use Melarase creams and Exfolase lotion to the area, followed by light chemical peels and Clear and Brilliant laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

I do this quite often in my practice with good results but they can recur, this is a genetic condition of glads.  See an expert for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It looks as if you may have hypertrophic scarring or hyperpigmentation caused by the laser, I would suggest a formal consultation with an expert to begin wound healing treatment. Best, Dr. Emer
