I have been going to Dr. West for about 10 years. She is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest procedures, products and skin care regimens. She carefully explained what to expect the first few days after having the CO2 lazer treatment -- and she was right on the money. She called the first evening to make sure I was doing okay and to ask if I had any questions or concerns.
After the treatment, my face was red and felt hot -- but it was not painful. The 2nd day was pretty much like the same. On the 3rd day, I went back to Dr. West's office for an oxygen treatment. It helps with healing. The 4th day was the worst. On the one hand, my skin was beginning to flake - revealing fresh new skin. But it was difficult to resist the urge to scratch -- so I kept applying the healing balm -- which helped. On the 5th day, I went in for another oxygen treatment. My skin was almost completely healed. And, it looked fabulous.
It is now 2 months since I had the treatment. I get lots of compliments on my skin -- and I don't have to wear heavy foundation.
It is well worth the price.
P.S. Dr. West's staff is superb. Friendly, down-to-earth, ready to help -- and most important well-trained and highly skilled.

Would love to see pictures of results! Based on price, I assumed it was a full ABLATIVE (not fractional CO2 resurface- which is what I am getting in Jan, mines 3900. Congrats on results!
Welcome to the community, I'm so glad that you decided to join us and share your story.

The oxygen mask sounds great, I would love for you to add that tip here for others researching CO2. Are you planning to have another treatment?
