I underwent Co2 treatment 22 days ago and around 5th day after areas on both cheeks seemed to get a bit bumpy, with visible lines between laser shots. The whole area on the cheeks seems to be swollen, whereas my chin seems to cure correctly. I was hoping this would flatten over time, but it persists although the redness is slowly going away. I had multiple co2 treatments in the past (I'm 30) for acne scars and I've never experiences anything like this. What can be the reason and how to cure it?
