Please help! I had C02 laser done early April as I wanted to improve the skin & have ended up with hyperpigmentation, scaring and a deep lip line. The nurse is taking zero accountability and I do t know what to do. I'm only in my late 30's and I feel like a old lady now
Im 27 years old and had sunken eyes for years but I think theyve been getting worse as Ive gotten older. Ive been looking into treatment options but I cant really afford anything like a blepharoplasty or fat transfer. Its seems like PRF and polynucleotides are not very effective for volume loss. HA filler is an option but it is likely to migrate? Can CO2 laser be a good treatment option?
Hello. I am 26 years old. I started using tretinoin last year September. After few months I started noticing that my skin near my other undereyes started thickening. I kept using It because I thought It would get better. Finally I stop using It on March. Now my other undereyes look weird,because there Is this area of thickened skin. My other undereye Area Is completely smooth so I'm not sure why this happened only on one side, or did I apply It unevenly. Can CO2 laser help to smooth the line/texture between The thickened skin and normal skin? It's on The right side of My face in these pictures. Before using tretinoin My undereyes were completely smooth.I didn't put It straight under my eyes,but I put It on my nasolabial folds And cheeks. English Is not My first language so I hope you understand.
Hello, Im a 39-year-old female with mild hyper pigmentation from previous acne as well as fine lines under eyes, around mouth and on neck. What would be the difference between getting a mild CO2 laser versus a cold peel? Would you recommend one of these or more so go with an IPL type laser for my concerns. I am not seeking medical advice just your opinion :)
Hello. About six months ago I developed this spot on my right cheek. I didnt suffer any trauma or injury that Im aware of. Its just like a spot of hypopigmentation. Ive read the lasers and topicals can help restore the melanin. Im 54, Mexican-American with a fair to rosy complexion.
Hi, I have had co2 laser on my face about 8 months ago. The procedure was not done by a certified doctor or nurse and the settings were obviously too high and have not healed at all. I have red/brown big squares still on my face now 8-9 months post procedure. It healed a little in the first 2 months and now has been slow and no progress. I am very concerned. I always put spf 50 to protect from sun. Please help me with what topical treatments I could use. I have tried hydroquinone, tretinoin and azaleic acid but feel like it irritates my skin more...I would need some help please
My skin has been bothering me for some time, I am 30 and I have these blemishes which are there all the time, I currently take Tretinoin which helped slightly but nothing seems to get rid of the red blemishes. Does it look like Rosacea to you? What procedure would be best to get rid of the red blemishes, so I have completely clear skin. Thank you
When I I was pregnant I got some skin tags but I also got a large amount of these small bumps on my chest and neck that are skin colored and more flat. My neck feels like braille and although its not too noticeable indoors, its noticeable in natural light. I have sensitive skin so Id like to make my skin smoother but I also dont want to get a procedure done that will leave any scarring or pigment issues and make it worse.
I had the CO2 laser done about 3 1/2 months ago and my skin wasnt really that bad. I kind of did it for like hyper pigmentation and just a little bit of some scarring that I had just in my t zone but overall my skin was pretty good. And I noticed that now all over my face I have these tiny red mark patterns and its not hyper pigmentation its like when I put makeup on. Its like actual like holes in my skin that wont go away and Ive seen and Ive researched that you know it takes a couple months to heal, but Im about to be on my fourth month and they still look the same and I still have those holes in my skin that I did not have before so I dont know if theres something I can do to fix that or if thats just permanent damage, because its not my pores
