Laser eCO2 and erythema?

Thank you for your question. I try to avoid unnecessary creams after CO2 resurfacing as they can induce a negative outcome due to the preservatives present in open skin. I hope this helps!

Redness is fairly common after CO2 laser and usually lasts a few days to a week, rarely longer- if you do have prolonged redness or erythema, creams can be used to help relive the redness. Your physician can discuss with you specifically what to expect at the treatment level desired for treatment. Good luck!
