Is this demarcation? (Photos)

agressive co2 resurfacing can take 6-12 weeks to heal.  I suggest sun protection, photodynamic therapy, and skin care at this time. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question madisonaidan. I
am sorry to hear about your situation. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an
outstanding treatment that can address multiple aspects of aging in a single
treatment. Redness can last several weeks after a treatment. We treat redness with IPL approximately four weeks after a treatment. I feather the edges to avoid areas of demarcation. This means using lighter settings around the edges to blend in the treated area with the adjacent untreated area. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.
Good luck!

Co2 laser resurfacing can take months to heal completely, therefore, at this time, it is too soon to know if there will be a demarcation line.  The area treated is obvious because it is so red, however, redness means you are still healing and making new collagen (which is a good thing).  The best way to cover redness after an aggressive procedure such as CO2 laser or a phenol peel is green based makeup or powder.  I would recommend seeing the provider who performed this laser to discuss your healing process.  Good luck!

The area is very red and obvious, but it should start to become less visible with some time. The concern is that you are developing some hyper pigmentation which will last longer. Make sure you are using a good sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure and see your treating physician who may give you a mild steroid cream to reduce some of the redness. 

Co2 is the BIG GUNS of lasers.... its only been 3 weeks, I tell all my patients, wait 3 months. If demarkation occurs, vascular V BEAM laser can sort it out. Hang tight. Every week that passes, the rudeness will subside. Dr Davin Lim . Brisbane. Australia.
