Hello! I have recently gotten fractional CO2 laser for my acne scarring and I just had my third and last session 3 days ago. Honestly, the changes were surreal and my skin has improved tremendously. I haven't been able to reach my doctor so I thought I'd ask here. My skin is currently just dry wherever the laser hit, and there are 1-2 little scabs. I have a very important meeting that just came up and want to look presentable. Would I be able to put on a very light layer of makeup?
Hello I have a hypertrophic upper eyelid scar i am considering treating with c02 laser (if I am a good candidate) to smooth the edges and blend it better. I wanted to know is it ok to treat skin with c02 laser if you have permanent makeup in there? I had skin toned ink put into the scar since it was white a year ago. Skin toned ink does have white ink in it which I know can change color with pico laser since I had laser tattoo removal before on my body. Thanks for your help and time
I have CO2 in December last year. Acne scars did not improve at all. Now 8 months after, I have a dotted pattern that goes across my face looks like my pores are enlarge. They are not my pores are small oval dots and all go in horizontal lines. Makeup make them worse. Are those permanent? My surgeon did not give me an advice, only an apology for no meeting my expectectations.??? Attached some pictures looks like orange peel effect. Picture of my forehead and cheek. What I can do to get rid of that?
I had a full face ablation with CO2 laser about 2 weeks ago. I have been using aquaphor and vaseline on my face all day everyday.. my face still feels right and dry after washing. When am I able to wear regular moisturizer and foundation? And what it the best makeup and moisturizer to use. The procedure was done because of acne scarring.
I am 3 weeks post co2 laser resurfacing and I'm still very red and dry. Makeup isn't able to cover it up. I'm concerned about the obvious line above my jawline. Is this demarcation? Why wouldn't the Dr laser the whole area. The other side is fine. It goes all the way to the jawline.
I had CO2 laser 2 months ago. I'm noticing that certain products cause itchy rashes, which then goes away after I apply 1% hydrocortisone. I understand that my skin is sensitive, even to products that I used to use in the past. And every time I try a new product, I'm fearful that it will cause a rash. How long will this hypersensitivity go on?
