Hello, i got the CO2 laser to improve my smiling lines. The doctor applied laser at deep level to my smiling lines vertically. My lines really got worse and deeper than before. This made me really frustrated and sad. I thought he must have applied the laser horizontally to better smooth lines. I would like to ask If it matters whether you apply laser vertically or horizontally. Thanks you so much
I had a scar revision done where the plastic surgeon revised/stitched up my scar and recommended a co2 laser over the scar area after the stitches. Is it possible for co2 laser to be causing indents in the area where he did the laser? Can the laser make a scar look any worse?
Skin texture is getting progressively worse after 3 sessions of fractional co2 laser and Im starting to lose hope. Im only 32, where does it go from here. There is 11 months between the two pictures and 3 sessions of laser has done nothing to slow it down. I am based in Manchester In the UK and we dont have the array of lasers as the US. I have found halo down in London but given so far laser has not worked, I am reluctant to spend the money again for such poor results. Please help
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?
Hi there, About 2 months ago I had co2 fractional laser treatment done to my face for a few mild acne scars only, now it appears my skin has hyperpigmentation more scarring, and my pores appear larger. So far I see no results, only my skin looking worse. So are these my final results? I'm feeling very regretful for doing this procedure, and feel like fixing it. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
i did a co2 laser treatment to improve damage already done from infini rf. It made my crepey skin worse, made orangepeel texture worse, and made scars appear worse. So many people including myself are getting their faces ruined. If so many people are devestated because of fraxel and co2 why is this even legal? Isn't orangepeel skin and crepey skin do to loss of elasticity and collagen? Aren't these lasers obviously damaging peoples skin and not helping it? Why would anyone do this to someone's face
I had a Co2 fractional laser treatment one month and a half ago and my ane just got worse. Now my face is full of red pigmentation because my acne is under the skin and I think it's cystic acne. Should I take accutane? And is there any other solution that might help my skin because I have a difficulty in swallowing pills? Also, my pores are still in the same large size even after the laser, so what are the recomendaciones for minimizing them? Thank you.
I had acne for many years, worse at different times. I am now almost 40 and some scarring was inevitable. After a first session of deep CO2 my skin seemed to improve. After 6 months I had another acne burst (stress related), and went back for another session + a month of tetracycline. During this second session the doctor double passed over the worse spots. Yet... now my pores look larger, some scars even deeper. Why did this happen and how should I fix it?
I had fractional Co2 laser done on October 19, 2016. The doctor told me he increased the laser on my cheeks due to sun damage. I am 3 months out and have severe skin quality issues where he went heavy on my cheeks. He said that it will take the full six months for this skin to get better and I'm not seeing any improvement and it actually looks worse. Does the skin really drastically improve after Co2 between 3 and 6 months? Thank you so much.
