The redness in the face after CO2 laser resurfacing for half a year. What can I do? (photos)

Question

I did CO2 laser resurfacing half a year ago. Now the area is still pretty red. Is it possible that my face will be like forever? For the lotion and cream I'm using right now, will they make my situation worth? Can I use cortizone-10 to help the redness?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. We use a specific protocol of exfoliation, hydration, and moisturizing along with protection after laser treatments. PDT therapy can calm any inflammation. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp to get more of an outcome. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Post laser complications can be treated with PDL or even IPL. CS creams are not indicated long term due to the complications. A dermatologist can help you. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
