Asked By:Mafa1012 in Sanger, California

I got a co2 laser about 3 months ago. Two weeks after the procedure I notice small round brown spots on my cheeks. The doctor recommended for me to continue w skinsceutical phlorentin, alastin brightening serum, retinol eod, moisturizer and sunscreen. I don’t see it going away and it so frustrating. My skin looked better before. Help!
