CO2 Laser + Red Q&A

I have acne scarring that is still red as it is from recent acne, but I also have some pitted deeper scarring. Will CO2 laser help with all of this including the redness? I know V Beam seems to be the gold standard for redness but CO2 laser seems to be the best of the best overall which is what Im looking for

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

i had fractional co2 laser 3 times it wasnt very aggresive but i saw some improvement in my little icepick scars.dr treated deep scars with spot treatment also dr spot treated my skin where no scars.. now my skin has pink indented shiny spots. and also my scars become red dark after spot treatment i am dark skinned when my skin color will turn to normal or laser demaged my skin can you suggest any treatment to treat this situation please discribe co2 laser healing stages for dark skinned patient

While I was sleeping I rolled on my right side. I had put a clean towel down to be safe and I woke to some scabs that had come off and a weird red pimple. Should I worry if it doesn't go away in the next day or two or is this something relatively common? Maybe because the area had dried out or the friction from my face rubbing?

I had a fractional CO2 laser 4 days ago and know the proceed as I have many sessions before for acne scars. This time I had full face for both scars ( very swallow now) and firmness/ lines. This times it is not like before I stated to peel at day 2 (one spot) and in this early areas of peeling the skin are very red, shiny and raw. I did not peel off myself it was naturally. Is it normal to peel so early? some areas are raw & red and other more pink... a bit anxious about the ones very raw!

I had done in May but it didn't work on my lip lines so they redid but my face is really red, sore, and hot. I have itching too.

i had co2 ebrium laser two years ago for treatment of old stretch marks. After initial treatment i had a lot of dark brown spots on the back of my legs and the buttock area. 19 months in of using obagi and tretonoin i still have discolouration. The spots have got lighter but are still there. On my left leg i have a big patch of reddish/white blotches, looks like 'cornbeef skin', and have dark red patches that have seemed to taken up home in the tracks of my stretch marks on my right.

I am using aquaphor after reading reviews on this site, I also read comments about vinegar soaks, are Nsaids OK! I was told to avoid them so my body could experience the inflammatory response for healing...I am very swollen, red and oozing today....Advice would be helpful! Thanks

Do you think I would be able to go back to work 1 week after CO2 laser treatment? I have very sensitive fair skin. I am very prone to getting red.

I had a fully ablative co2 laser (not fractionated) procedure done 2 months ago on my cheek for a scar. I'm wondering how long my skin will be red and shiny for? Will the shininess and redness ever really go away?
