I only have blackheads at nose and cheek area before co2 fractional laser, I have did 4 sessions of laser and getting more and more acne after 2nd laser treatment. Is it normal? I only used normal face cleanser and aloe vera gel until the skin fully peeled off, thereafter resume normal skin care routine.
