Can a repeat of CO2 ablative resurfacing correct damage caused by the first treatment?

Question

I have demarcation marks, pin holes, under eye scars and crappy skin created by ablative Co2 laser resurfacing. Is it possible to correct this with a repeat of the same procedure?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is difficult to answer without pictures. Lasers like Co2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen. After Co2, I recommend adding fraxel lasers, microneedling/prp and radiofrequency treatments.  I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care and treatment. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question 2017hopeful.
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an
outstanding treatment that can address multiple aspects of aging in a single
treatment. Surprisingly, with many cosmetic treatments complications can be addressed by repeating the same treatment again. However, the settings must be adjusted. Please consult with a doctor for
specific recommendations. Good luck!
