Rough texture 7 months after CO2 laser? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I received a Co2 laser treatment 7 months ago on my face. About 3 months in I realized the rough texture isn’t going away. I have weird holes and lines that weren’t there before, mostly under my eye. I went back to the provider around month 4 and she said it was mila (there were maybe 1 or 2 mila but nothing crazy) and said it takes 6 months to heal. Here we are at 7 months and the texture hasn’t improved at all. Is this permanent? Could it be scarring?

Co2 laser treatment is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, and pigmentation. While the results of this treatment can be dramatic, it's important to note that it can take several months for the skin to fully heal and for the final results to become visible.

However, if you're experiencing persistent rough texture, holes, and lines that weren't present before the treatment, it's important to have your skin evaluated by a skincare professional. It's possible that the rough texture you're experiencing could be due to scarring or other complications from the Co2 laser treatment. It's also possible that the texture is due to something else, such as a reaction to a skincare product or an underlying skin condition.

I would recommend scheduling an appointment with the provider who performed the Co2 laser treatment or a dermatologist to have your skin evaluated. They can examine your skin and determine if the texture is normal healing or if it is something that requires further treatment. They may also be able to suggest treatments or skincare products that can help improve the texture of your skin.

Overall, it's important to communicate your concerns with your skincare professional and follow their recommendations for ongoing care and maintenance of your skin.

Best of luck !
