3 weeks post op CO2 laser, left with dark pink patches. Is this permanent? (photos)

Hi eddie1896,Thank you for the question. Having some pink coloration of the skin is normal at this point. As the skin heals, the redness will slowly fade.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns and good luck in your healing!Dr. Ward

It takes several weeks for laser results to settle. I recommend following up with your Doctor for 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 microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes with texture and tone.  Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
