I have had a fully ablative co2/erbium laser on my cheek for chicken pox scars. The big one is below and there was a little one above. The dermatologist applied the laser on the whole skin (between the 2 scars which was normal). I am 3 months post procedure and still red, and noticed some holes in the skin that werent there. Is this normal ? Im afraid experiencing other scarring in addition to old ones. And the big scar which is elevating to the surface seems bigger Thank u
Before I used to have red marks and tiny holes here and there but after doing co2 laser I think my skin is looking worse. I am really depressed I dont know did I make right choices in doing co2 laser or not .. I have done 4 settings of it and i think my skin is looking worsen then before... its been 5 months since i have done nothing but seeing my skin like this makes me feel really uncomfortable. Please suggest to me what I should do? Should I go for treatment or leave the idea of treatment?
I had a CO2 laser peel in December 2018. I was told that I had very minor Rhinophyma. See photos. The surgeon turned up the laser too high and burned a rectangular laser hole into my nose. He deformed my nose and he scarred my nose. I believe that he hit the cartilage with the laser. t was so painful. It is May 2019. The doctors office treats the veins occasionally. I need real treatment for the deformity and the scars. Please help me map out a plan.
Hi, I'm a 50 year old Caucasian male. I've had two co2 laser procedures for some not so deep acne scars. The first one which was 2 years ago was a not too strong 3 pass procedure. It turned out fine. But this last one I received was a very strong 1 pass procedure. I wont get into the details because its sad. Anyway it's almost 6 months later and I have been left with holes all over. Some look like large pores going in straight lines. I would like the best advice on how to treat this situation. Thank you.
im about 2 hours post op of fractionated CO2 laser on my cheeks and my face looks different than others who get CO2? usually they are red with white dots in a pattern on their face but my face is bleeding with brown dots really close to each other, what differences am I experiencing right now? Im afraid my skin will look similar to the pattern it has now, large brown spots.
Hi. I've gone under one procedure of co2 laser treatment a month(4 weeks) ago for post acne scars. And there're little pin holes left on my face. I can tell it's post effect of CO2 laser treatment because of the pattern. Are they permanent and should I continue treatment or not( because I thought my skin might not react, its quite good)
