38 years old. I had co2 done with a great plastic surgeon I wanted my cheek wrinkles and under eye wrinkles gone. Right now I don't really see a difference he told me it'll take time. Some people on here said the wrinkles went away immediately others said it took time. I am thankful nothing bad happened though like darkening of the skin or break outs etc. just unsure if worth the $ till some time passes. Super sad and hope they go away I hope I didn't waist 5k on nothing changing. The under eye wrinkles I hate so much I don't date or do anything because I feel they age me and I'm super insecure about them.

It takes time. You cannot compare your skin to anyone else's skin because everyone is different. They may have had light mild wrinkling. You will see full results within 6 months to a year. Make sure you follow your post care completely.

Hi, I had co2 and Erbium laser done as well about 2 months ago (I posted pictures and reviewed a few days ago) and my wrinkles look worse! The co2 was done around my eyes and they are so much more wrinkled now :( I hope it looks better soon. I started using the Obagi system again so hopefully that will stimulate collagen to rebuild. Botox really helps crows feet around eyes and wrinkle lines on the forehead (which I am insecure about). I hope you get great results, maybe we should be taking hair skin and nails vitamins to help our skin build up?

I've been taking hair skin and nail vitamins the past five years and I switch out the brand every three months because I noticed my body stops responding. I've gotten Botox everywhere I can possibly get it but underneath your eyes you can't get it done there. Are u using SPF? I heard if you don't your face will get way worse because it's baby skin. I hope mine improves because I'm so insecure about it I won't even date. Sucks! I hope yours improves definitely start biotin. I'll check out your pics. I haven't seen that many people with amazing results. I've definitely seen more people with worse or no results! :(

Pores are huge never had big pores b4 ever except on top of nose and face gets itchy and I scratch (trying not too) then it immediately turns into a tiny tiny blood zit almost like I got pricked with a needle. Prior to co2 I had a break out of 1 big zit maybe once a month that was it rest of face was always super clear! Updating every little change because I want you all too see what happens over time. If I knew all this b4 it could've possibly change my mind on doing it not sure. Dr said today within 6 mo I should see big difference we will see! Nervous!

How have you been healing. The holes are very visible. I hope they are improving. And am I mistaken of did this particular co2 laser treatment cost you $5000?
That seems incredibly expensive. Have you been back to the PS?

How are you doing. Is your skin improving? I hope it is and you were beginning to see great results.
