I had CO2 laser treatment done on my face and neck November 26, 2023. I am still in a great deal of pain and my whole face and neck is scarred. It looks like between Freddy Krueger and the pinhead with all the markings that you can seeall over it has been so awful and still painful my plastic surgeon who did it is not helping and the dermatologist I’ve seen so there’s nothing I can do with the permanent damage from this and it seems to getting worse and worse it’s discoloration race scarring pai
