How often Co2 with PRP goes wrong?

Question

How often co2 with PRP goes badly and leaves scars or weird skin texture? There’s so many negative comments and I have the procedure next week and I’m a bit scared should I do it or not. Please tell me your experience. And what happens when it goes wrong? Thank you doctors in advance! I’ve been doing everything to make my skin stronger, using DNA regenersation serum with growth factors, taking zinc and vit C, manesium. Can you give me some tips? I’m having it for facial scars.

In my practice, fractional co2 laser and PRP SC provide excellent results consistently. I would prep with Melarase creams before the laser.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

In my opinion, the important aspect of your question relates to the type of CO2 laser. If one is using a fractionated laser, the side effects are greatly diminished. If one is using a traditional CO2 laser, the potential for hypopigmentation and scarring is increased. PRP has the ability to speed healing and improve results.
