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

October 26, 2015
Asked By:Skin repair needed in Richmond, VA

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.
