Is textured, dented skin normal 3+ months after fully ablative CO2 laser? (Photo)

Asked By:cubluejay in Omaha, Nebraska

Hi…I’m fair skinned, 48 y/o. Had fully ablative CO2 full face about 4 months ago. At 3 weeks post, I started developing scar tissue under my eyes, which surgeon injected with steroids and exosomes, neither of which were effective. I had pretty smooth skin overall before treatment and wanted to do it bc I had several AKs on my face. My skin now looks like a sponge and I feel like a scarred monster. I’m so scared this is what I’ll have to live with. My surgeon won’t give straight answer
