Personally I Wouldn't Do This Again.

i have done skin lasers before and i am quite fond of them. Theyve helped transform my skin.

however...CO2 fractional laser is not worth it in my opinion.

1) i didnt know the downtime would take so long! i should have done research. it took me months to be able to have skin i could skip make up with. while it did its thing within a month i was left with bright red gridmarks for over 3 months ! i had to cover my face with make up.

2) i had raised gridmark bumps for about 1-2 months and this was scary i wasnt sure what happend or if it was going to stay but from what i researched online it sounded like an histamine reaction? i still dont know but that freaked me out!

3) i was left with permanent gridmark scars everywhere...i have since gotten 2 sublatives since then and i dont know if those are leaving me with gridmarks too or if its just because the gridmarks i got from the fractional laser are so deep its not fully removing them. my under chin developed dark hyperpigmentation where the gridmarks were i had to go in with the sublative to break that up. it wasnt until i got that fractional laser that i even noticed gridmark scaring..and since then i still see it and its been 4 years!

i will probably never get it again, i could have gotten similar results with sublative over time and far quicker downtime.

i have since been doing over the counter acids and like i said still to this day i have those gridmarks even after 2 sublatives.

i do love skin lasers and how they leave your skin all dewey and fresh but personally i didnt like this one it was a scary 3 months for me i just found it too invasive.

i did this laser in 2017 in the summer btw these reviews only go as far as 2019 so i had to choose the latest date listed but i actually had it done much before then.
