I did post this already in a comment section.  I had CO2 laser done approximately 15 years ago ( I was 47).  I went to a supposed "top Doc" in Rhode Island only to correct some loose skin at that time.  She suggested the CO2 laser so I trusted her knowledge and expertise.  I healed okay, but as time went on I had and still have hyperpigmentation.  The skin around my mouth does not match the rest of my face and it is just awful.  I'm now 62 and I do not look my age until you either see me up close or in the light; especially sunlight.  It's like my skin was burnt off; there are holes and wrinkles.  This caused enlarged pores in some areas.  I personally would not have any laser done to my face ever again.  If you are young, it might not look like an awful procedure but I believe as you get older you will have a problem.  Mine got worse as I got older.  Also, my skin constantly feels dehydrated around my lips.  The area above my eyelids still looks strange and itches.  I have read a lot of posts on this already.  I just bought a Derma Roller and used it for the first time last night.  I am going to be patient here and see if this corrects or lessens my horror.  I will follow up with my results to see if this works.  Be careful what a doctor tells you.  Sorry, most everything is about money and they are not always looking out for your best interest.  I really wonder if they would have this done to their face. I still believe there are some great doctors out there and then there are the rest that do not fall in that category.  I feel for all of you who have gone through this because it's very depressing to see your face ruined.
