CO2 Laser + Collagen Q&A

Doctors, can someone tell me the difference between the two lasers in terms of result, number of tx required, collagen remodelling capability, etc? I understand that picosure has zero to minimal downtime and does not use heat energy. Are both lasers equal in terms of end result? Will lets say 3 pico is equally the same with 3 fractional co2? Or if one of the laser yeilds faster results in days/weeks/months?

I have done 2 microneedling +PRP and I went to the Co2 laser resurfacing after 7 weeks of microneedling. 

I am planning to have subcision on a couple depresssed chicken pox scars, followed by laser to build collagen. I was also reading the suction can help the effectiveness of subcision. Wondering if this can be doing with laser though, or if it would disrupt the healing from the laser? I wouldnt do suction till several days after laser.

I am a 25 y/o female with major collegian loss between my eyes in one spot. Its so bad you can see it profile and front view. Will co2 laser fix this or am I better off trying dermal filler?

I was not aware that the CO2 shrank collagen and made our skin flat. I did my setting on a 6 because it hurt so bad and I think it went in my favor. My dr assured me I wouldn't lose volume and my cheeks and lips are thin and everything feels different like drinking from a bottle, talking, and brushing my teeth. Will the shrunken collagen come back? Will I ruin my face if I take collagen and tablets in the meantime?

I have lost a lot of collagen and elasticity to my face and I was hoping to do something with dramatic results. I was interested in CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling and maybe some fillers here and there. Looking for anything that would be the best suitable option for my individual needs. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!

Hello.My skin is very oily and I am forming blackheads once again while also having a few pimples. I've read that Isotretinoin is interfering with collagen production after co2 laser treatments. Is it ok if I start on a low dosage Isotretinoin at this time or do I have to wait a bit longer?

i did a co2 laser treatment to improve damage already done from infini rf. It made my crepey skin worse, made orangepeel texture worse, and made scars appear worse. So many people including myself are getting their faces ruined. If so many people are devestated because of fraxel and co2 why is this even legal? Isn't orangepeel skin and crepey skin do to loss of elasticity and collagen? Aren't these lasers obviously damaging peoples skin and not helping it? Why would anyone do this to someone's face
