I had Co2 laser done for acne scars in april. I will still be doing bellafill as I'm told laser isn't enough on its own but the laser did nothing. I feel like I took time off and spent 5k to feel like a total idiot. I didnt expect perfect but even 30-50% improvement would have been something. Is there something wrong with me that makes collagen producing treatments ineffective? I did 6 microneedling sessions before with no improvement. Even my fine lines didn't change.
