Hi! I had a co2 laser done and am SO disappointed with the results. The pinpoint acne scars I came in for are still there. She was quite aggressive, my face was a giant scab for nearly 2 weeks. When it peel naturally, parts of my cheek were bright pink along with the laser lines to the side of the face. The bright pink isn’t going away and I fear hyperpigmentation. Help! I religiously wear sunscreen and a hat. Texture of my skin is blah, I got nothing what my research on co2 promised.
