Is there any hope of repair or treatment to damaged skin from CO2 laser?

Question

I had co2 laser 4 years ago. The results have been horrible. I have a host of issues the worse being that small pit like "dermal lesions" and "scars" are appearing all over my face. Think Tommy Lee Jones (sorry Tommy). Seen several doctors, none offering a solution other than moisturizing. I suspect that poor after care is the culprit. Doctor who performed this wont take my calls and didn't provide any after care skin care other than ELTA moisturizer. Depressed and embarrassed.

I have been able to succesfully reverse a lot of laser damage using other lasers in combination with PRP.  I suggest you see a laser expert.  However, your expectations should be improvement and know that a series of low energy treatments over time will be needed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Skin rejuvenation can be accomplished in many ways.  If scarring did occur from your treatment, options do exist to repair the scarring.  Photographs of your before and after treatments would be most helpful
