I suffered from acne scars and I have decided to do this laser. So I went to the doctor and she suggested me to do an aggressive treatment and she said the downtime is about a week no more than 15days. The procedure is almost painless and fast. The first day is okay and I just iced my face gently. Second and third day, my face has gone redder and rougher. Since I only did a part of my forehead and parts of my cheeks and nose, it's noticable in a funny way. Fourth day and fifth day the crusts started to form but compare to other patients, my healing seems TOO SLOW. I don't know if I can take this any longer since I need to go out in public a lot. Is there anyone who has the similar experience with me? Or any suggestions that can boost the healing? Thanks a lot!

Looks to be healing well.. Can you apply makeup? Try Estée Lauder Doinle wear max cover if you can. It's a camouflage makeup and it works great! Good luck- you are beautiful!

This looks normal to me. I had the same treatment and so did my sister in law and we both looked like this. If you have Asian skin (like my sister in law does) it scabs up more and takes longer to heal. You may notice wen it heals that you skin is a slightly different shade where you had the treatment but that fades. Hope this helps :)

Put a light coating of Aquaphour. Make sure you wear good sunscreen on top of the Aquaphour and try to minimize your sun exposure. If you had a deeper Co2 laser than other people than your healing time will take longer. With Asian skin it is critical to keep the sun off of your face until it looks healed. Even when outside skin looks like it is healed, the underneath is still healing so you need to protect it with a good sunscreen. Something with a 30-35 SPF. The underneath can take 6 months to a year to see full results and finish healing. Be patient. You will see good results if you follow your post care instructions.

This laser has many settings, like how deep it will go into the skin and how much area it will cover per square. So you can have 10 people with 10 different settings. Which will mean 10 different healing times especially when you consider skin type.

Only put on mineral makeup post sublative laser and wait at least 7-10 days until you put on any make-up depending on how deep. You need to wear makeup that is healthy and good for you skin.

2 weeks after laser

Now my face is better thanks to the help of many people's suggestions! I am still sensitive to sun but I have been wearing mask when outdoor and wear a 40spf sunscreen. So far so good and I can see some improvements of my scars. The doctor said the full results will be reviewed about one to three months, which the collagen would be fully developed and scars would reduce.
