Hello, I had my second co2 laser procedure two weeks ago, it was done on my acne scars near chin area. The healing after first treatment was very good, after one week my skin looked normal. During the secend treatment doctor has changed one parameter of the laser (?density of lattice to 0,4 mm?). Right now my skin has dark red color (two weeks past), and it doesnt look to fade away (it looks the same on the other side of my face).

Answer: Redness after CO2 I tell my patients they will be red for 4-6 weeks, and sometimes even longer, after a CO2 treatment. It is very important that you keep the area well protected with sunscreen, because you don't want additional damage to this area. There are products (such as Vitamin K serums) that can help to decrease reds a bit faster than they will fade on their own. Some laser procedures will also help, but I don't recommend doing these until at least 8 weeks after the treatment.I think you should be fine - just be patient and hang in there!
