CO2 Laser + Setting Q&A

I hear good things and bad things about both lasers. Which one is better for large pores? How about wrinkles? Also, can a doctor out there please suggest a good setting for the pores and a good setting for the wrinkles. I hope that by doing 3 lite treatments it would cut down on the possibility of problems. Is it better to do one deeper treatment?

I'm a 40 year old Iranian women. What fractional CO2 settings are best for middle eastern skin to treat acne scars? And how many? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Im of Mediterranean descent, looking to improve a facial surgical scar. Already completed subcision/filler and dermabrasion . Saw improvement however scar is still not where Id like it to be. Im realistic, I understand that nothing can completely remove the scar, but hoping for more improvement. Thank you in advance for all of your help!

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?

Laser used on my procedure CO2 FRAXEL REPAIR, I think by Reliant Technologies. Spot size used with large tip: Energy level 70mj, Treatment level 12, 4 passes, with a Total 5.13kj . Another part of my face was treated with small tip: Energy level 70mj, Treatment level 12 with 4 passes, Total 0.23kj. Another section treated: small tip at 40mj, Level 8 with 4 passes, Total 0.76. Are these strong settings? I'm 6 weeks post-op & I still have micro needle points all over my face. Will they close?

The settings used are as follows: tip 300 Pulse energy 16mJ density 75 x 1 pass, tip 120 Pulse energy 16mJ density 75 x 1 pass.

I had a laser treatment done on my entire face in January this year with the Veris CO2 Laser. The nurse used a higher setting on my cheeks which resulted in grid-marks/squares that have become etched into my skin. What I was wondering was how these lasers work: how deeply do they penetrate the epidermis/dermis, and what other treatments (such as dermabrasion, deep chemical peels, micro-needling, radio frequency, or other lasers) can help with smoothing out this laser damage at such a deep level?

I received my medical record and this was the settings: First pass done with 30 watts, 400 dwell time and 500 microseconds of spacing. The face was then feathered with a drop in dwell time to 200 microseconds. Bacitracin ointment was then applied diffusely. Is this the correct setting for a full CO2 ablative laser?
