Fractional laser CO2 aftercare 3 days post op, how long is the downtime going to be? (photo)

Question

I did fractional laser CO2 on my face , I have a very sensitive skin . It is still red , iching and bit burning . I only use cicabio cream for bioderma . Today is the 3 rd day . How long I need to go down and back to life routine ? Do I need to take any anti-histaminique or anti inflammatory?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. I recommend skin care with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone based scar gels with growth factors and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme. PDT therapy can help calm inflammation. Typically I recommend adding clear and brilliant, fraxel, viva 4-6 weeks after co2 to improve results along with microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes with texture and tone.  Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
