It’s been 2 days after my procedure and this is how is going. It looks so bad!!! :( I hope by day 4 all the bad skin is gone and I recover faster.
Any advice for itchy skin ? I’ll keep posting more. Honestly I don’t know what to expect, I jut want my face to look better. I heard the worst days are 1 and 2 I hope that’s the truth.

I had itchy, peeling skin for weeks and the itchiness drove me crazy. I wonder if you can take Benadryl? Let me tell you that though the recovery was awful, the results were well worth it.

Hi what is the final outcome? Are you happy with the CO2 results

it can take months for the skin to properly heal and see results.

i wish I can tell you if it’s worth it or not before you get it done. I’m just hopeful :) . recovery part sucks. They told me not to put any make up for at least another 10 days :/ .

No makeup, only the most positive thoughts & trust the results will be worth it!!

Your skin looks good. I just had CO2 done myself--makeup works wonders to cover the redness.

Sorry guys I haven’t been posting, here is the progress... Redness is still there, which I didn’t know it could last 6 weeks !! Skin texture is a little bit rough. My face simulates a sponge! Pores very out there. To be honest I can’t really tell changes or improvement yet... I don’t know if I would recommend this treatment, I guess I have to be patient and trust the healing process and go from there. ????
Haven’t put make up yet, I might start next week to see how my face reacts to it. I’m turning 30 the 28th of this month I want to be able to wear a little bit of make up that day!
Follow me on my instagram page if you want to see more updates more often !
Thank you all for your concerns.

How is your face doing? It looks so scary at first. Oh my gosh. Would you recommend this at this point or not? How much of a difference do you think it's made?

Hi! ummm.. honestly, I think this type of treatments are for women who either don’t work and have a lot of patience and money, or for those who don’t have deeeeeep acne scars and jut have sun spots, wrinkles and tiny superficial scars. I think in order for me to do have the skin I want I would need at least 3 treatments and I honestly wouldn’t do it again. I will post in a couple weeks progress pics.
