I had a full, non-fractionated CO2 on my face, neck and chest three months ago. They did 70 percent on face and 30 percent on neck and chest. The face is great, a tad pink, but neck and chest are still very red. I'm worried I have plateaued and it will stay this way. The office said to put Vitamin C on it, but I'm concerned until I get a second opinion. It appears as a sunburn, not as angry red as after procedure. Will the redness fade or what should I do?
I'm 35 years old and for the last 5 years I've been really down about the state of my neck. I believe it is a result of sundamage as my chest has a similar texture. It's very crepey/ wrinkled and is incredibly aging. I've tried RF sessions and Morpheus8 with absolutely no change. I'm considering a fractional co2 laser or maybe plasma pen? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you
Hi! Im a 24 year old male that suffered from cystic acne as a teen and as a result are left with very deep acne scars on my chest. These scars have made me insecure throughout the years and now want to change that! I want to know what would be the absolute best options to better the appearance as much as possible. Any suggestions for treatments? combination of treatments. I have set up an appointment with my dermatologist and want to be as informed as possible when meeting with them.
I am a 23 year female and I have been worried about a keloid scar on my chest for a long time . Its very visible so it makes me conscious when I wear clothes .I have had multiple steroid injections , had NG yag laser and applied scar creams locally for the past 6 years . The skin around that area has become very thin and 1 doctor even recommended me to get tattoo over it to hide it. Another doctor said nothing can be done. As a last resort should I get Co2 laser ? I really want to get it rid .
What would be better for my eyes (priority) and face/chest? Concerned about crepey skin around the eyes and the extra skin. Face and chest are not even coloring. 1) co2 laser for eyes, fraxel for face and chest 2) active fx for eyes, face & chest 3) some combo of laser and ultherapy Trying to understand the differences in treatment benefits.
I sometimes have a hypopigmentation reaction to trauma on the skin, i.e. as in sun damage and scars that turn white after surgery. I have some of these hypopigmentation spots on my neck and chest. My question is, could co2 laser resurfacing help remove these? Or could it cause more hypopigmentation spots?
I had fractional CO2 laser treatment 4 days ago on my face, neck, and chest. Skin on neck and chest reacted poorly to Vaseline. Red raised bumps/rash. On call weekend dr. recommended I discontinue and switch to the gentle moisturizer provided by my dr. I do not think it is enough and my skin is EXTREMELY dry, red, and overall just angry. What can I do to calm my skin back down. Face is healing great. Thank you.
