Ablative Fractional CO2 Laser

Powerful4860
This was my first ablative co2 treatment for my acne scarring, which means they used more aggressive settings on their laser. I have a variety of scars but mostly boxcar and icepick. In the past 10 years I've done a lot to improve my skin. I've been battling with cystic acne since I was a teen. I've had 6 microneedling treatments which were a waste of money, 6 neolaser sessions for acne and these were quite helpful for a quick result, two RF Infini micro needling, and 3 fractional co2 procedures which were pretty mild. I'm currently taking Spironolactone and using tretinoin to control breakouts.

Gonna track results(if any) of this procedure.

To prepare for the procedure I had an IV hydration session and I've been taking Healfast supplements (tissue repair powder, hair/skin/nails gummies and their pre and post op vitamins). NO caffeine :(

I'm using a peptide serum with a micro silver balm applying 3x daily.

LOTS OF WATER and REST :-)

Hi! I’m looking into this procedure. . I was on accutane in 2021 after years of struggling with acne and I have continued to use tretinoin along with spironolactone. I still have acne scarring left & looking into just getting it done on my cheeks. How are your results? They look great the after photos above!

Hi there, can I please ask:
the down time?
when you could wear makeup again?
How many sessions you’ve had?
Is this ablative or non ablative?

Very much considering it for myself :)
