Why did my doctor prescribe hypocophen cream 4% to be applied once a day a week BEFORE my co2 laser treatment. From what I am reading it is usually post op cream. I read somewhere not to use anything with retinoid in it before the treatment. Also I'm having under-eye lid surgery directly before this treatment.
I had CO2 laser done for stretch marks on my thighs and lower back, and I am currently using Tazorac and 4% hydroquinone cream but there is still a dark/dull redness persisting in all areas 13 months after treatment. There also is an area of scarring from when I picked at it a week after the laser treatment. Am I stuck with this redness forever or is there a solution?
I had DOT laser done to treat a scaring from cyst acne that was cut and extracted 8 months ago. The doctor PRP to try fix the depressed dent mid March. I had more scaring from the PRP procedure and stitches to close cut. Now they did a DOT CO2 laser 6 weeks ago. I am seeing the square patch after CO2 Laser Treatment. Doctor suggested VBeam laser but I am scared to do any type of laser on my skin. I am Asian brown skin and scar very easily. Now using hydroquinone 4% bleach cream twice daily .
I am 5 weeks post co2 laser resurfacing a day I'm very red and dry. I am healing sloway. I have erythema small dark brown spots but the rest of the face is just red. My doctor said to use the bleaching cream. Should I ne using that if I haven't healed?
I am 6 weeks post co2 laser and I'm very red with hyperpigmentation. I also have lots of breakouts, big pimples.I've been advised to use hydroquinone and retina a but I'm really afraid to put anything on my skin. And I feel like I have even more lines. He said he went deep but I never peeled or scabbed. I used aquaphor for 2 weeks per the doctor.

26 days post DOT laser resurfacing on my entire face. I am developing hyper pigmentation . I am avoiding sun, using sunblock. Do I get rid of this discoloration? How long do I use hydrocortisone or hydroquinone. How long will it take for brown marks to disappear? Does indirect sunlight affect the skin? How long does the result of laser will last? My skin color is 3, in the scale of 1 to 10, 1 being white. Thank you in advance
4 weeks ago I had C02 laser done under my eyes. In the past week I've had some pigmentation start to happen (yes I've been carful with sun and using sunglasses/sunscreen) I was recommended by my doctor to use hydroquinone 4%. On my first night of using it I noticed in the morning the spots got darker. My questions are...Is this the best product to use? When using hydroquinone does it get worse (spot get darker) before it looks better (lightens)?
I have melasma and was treated with Spectra laser, with maintenance approximately every 3 months. I use retin-A 0.5% and hydroquinone 4%. I have had great results from the Spectra laser. I am looking into treatment for lower lid wrinkles. I currently get routine botox treatment but still have static wrinkles and a bunching up appearance when I smile. Im considering CO2 laser for my under eye area and possibly for my entire face to treat for texture. I am 43 years old, fair skin caucasian.
