I have CO2 eight months ago. I still have a dotted pattern in my skin left from the laser. Are those dots permanent? (photos)

Thank you for your question. CO2 is used to tighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. it is recommended to pretreat with a topical hydroquinone to prevent hypopigmentation. wait 6 months to see if your concerns resolve. co2 results take up to 6 months.

I find that adding a non ablative laser 6-12 weeks after co2 gives a better outcome.  I would try a fraxel or clear + brilliant with microneedling/PRP.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Agreed, my favoured treatment is with a 1927 Fraxel laser if needed. Often one to two sessions will improve the texture and help reduce the lines. All the best, DR Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
