It’s been a while and decided to post an update. The scar’s appearance has improved, no longer reddened, is narrower than the original crater I had. Was it worth it? I am neutral about it but at the end of the day just love yourself.

You said that after the C02 laser the scar appeared deeper. Did it eventually level out? or did you have more than one laser session? Also how long did it take the redness of the scar to disappear?

Where did you go for this procedure and who performed it?

I really had high hopes for the results of the CO2 laser. The post laser session picture and the day after picture were very promising. However, the scar is appearing deeper and wider today. Did i take two steps back? Should have let the scar heal a little bit longer before having CO2 laser applied to it?

Hi do you have an update? Has the scar healed?

My experience with lasers is that it can look worse at first, but 3 months post laser should look much better. How is the scar now? I'm also thinking of doing punch excision.

I'm curious to know how this turned out!

Its what the doctor recommends really. Different lights pay an important role to judge but it looks very unnoticeable now. Unless someone is a real OCD would not pay attention to it. Even before you did it.

CO2 Laser Photos

A topical lidocaine cream was applied to the site for 25 minutes prior to the lasering. The actual length of time it took to laser the area was quite possibly 1-2 minutes. Post laser, the medical assistant applied petroleum jelly to the area. I am usually not one to recommend the use of petroleum jelly products.
