CO2 laser treatment
lisserbNovember 10, 2018
This is my second treatment. I have a scar on my forehead from a cyst removal and I’m attempting to improve the appearance of it. My first CO2 was a spot treatment in July, along with a bit of filler. This time I went with a full forehead treatment, with no filler.
I’ll be documenting the healing process.

Don’t mind the spot above the scar. I’m still dealing with some healing acne.
It didn’t change as much as I’d hoped. I am actually going for a second round on November 8th, across my whole forehead this time to see how much more I can even it out.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll be looking into scar revision surgery.
I’m not going to get a filler put in this time. The filler seems to have not settled into the right spot and has made a hard lump, which is essentially why I even have a scar in the first place...because I had a hard lump removed.
I’ll be starting a new post to detail the recovery on round two.

Three weeks post. Still slightly pink. When my skin is dehydrated, I can see the grid marks still. The filler doesn’t seem to be in the right place and is causing a bit of a bump, which puts me back at square 1, since the whole reason I have a scar was to get rid of a bump. I see my dermatologist tomorrow, so I’ll find out what can be done about that. I can definitely see a difference in the before and after now, and I’m happy with the way the CO2 worked. I almost wish we had only done that and no filler. I’ll be asking about a second CO2 treatment, but foregoing the filler this time. I might see about going further across my forehead.
