Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 5 (skipped day 4) update
Okay,
So I still haven't decided on if C02 resurfacing is worth all the trouble for the end result. The nurse even told me to pretty much lower my expectations and I realize that my skin will never be "normal". Enough about that ... Let's get to it.
I didn't update day 4 because nothing of significance happened other than I stopped using aquaphor and started using cetaphil moisturizer. (Day 5) most of the brown spots are gone, the peeling all happened when washing my face for the most part. The brown spots are (scabbing) left from the laser and new collegians forming underneath. Do I think C02 is worth it? Probably not, unless you have a lot of free down time and $$$ for several treatments. Even then having to stay inside for 10 days or until the scabbing is gone takes a tole. Like I said this is my 3rd time doing this. At $1500 a pop it can get pricy. If you factor in the cost/travel/downtime I am not sure I'll do it again. I won't be posting here anytime soon. Maybe I'll check back in a month or so, then follow up after that. Unless anyone has questions. Sorry some of the stuff was hard to read but I blame it on the meds lol. See pics from day 5.

Day 3 post surgery
So there is a little tightness, not much. I am starting to peel and I can see some of the deep scars reappearing. I can also see some of the smooth skin coming to surface underneath (new cologine). I am having a difficult time getting all the aquaphor off but I am using cetaphil and have been doing venager and water renses. I was told today is the last day that I need to use aquaphor which is good cause this stuff really cakes on.
