I know it will be at least 3 weeks until I am able to return to my ‘routine’ post laser treatment. I was wondering what are some recommendations to keep the new skin healthy looking it’s best. All I have ever used is a vit C serum with hyaluronic acid and hydra boost moisturizer. Should I add a retinol? I am only post-laser day 3 so I have time, just thinking in advance. Recommendations?
Answer: Post CO2 laser skincare It is very critical that you follow a strict post laser protocol designed by your physician.Treating the skin with Platelet Rich Plasma immediately after the Laser can reduce the downtime and better recovery. I love the following skincare products after CO2 laser (No Sun exposure and frequent dilute vinegar soaks to prevent infection)

Answer: CO2RE Laser treatment Hey there,Keep your skin moist and avoid sun exposure by the use of a sunscreen. Retinol isn't recommended at this stage. Skin would take at least 2 weeks to heal, till then continue using vitamin c and a moisturizer. Retinol can be started once the inflammation has reduced

Answer: Best skin care following CO2RE laser treatment? Most physicians have a certain regimen for their patients to follow as the skin is healing after a laser treatment. Newly lasered skin is very delicate, like a baby's skin, and even usual products that may be considered "natural or botanical" may contain ingredients that would be very irritating to the new skin. (Just because something is natural or botanical does not make it something good for the skin. I like to tell my patients that poison ivy is natural but I would never put it on my skin since I am highly allergic!) I would suggest discussing your ongoing skin care for the next month with the physician who performed your treatment. Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd

Answer: Time, SPF You best friend is time, and avoidance of the sun with SPF starting in a few days time. Each surgeon will have their own post-op instruction, I suggest you follow your specialists guide. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
