Are there any treatment options for destroyed skin from co2 ablative laser? (photos)

October 30, 2015
Asked By:Skin repair needed in Richmond, VA

I had only mildly noticeable lines around my mouth and mild acne scars. CO2 took out all my pigment, (think ghost), destroyed skin laxity, pitted and left acne like depressions all over my skin. Skin is waxy, dimpled, mottled, dehydrated. This procedure destroyed my skin and its progressively getting worse. This is reason why the late review. Are there any treatment options to help improve my thinning skin? Circadia moisturizer seems to help some

Answer: Laser and heat treatments can be overdone on your skin, but regenerating the skin from within can also help you
