Co2re Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars - Visalia, CA

It's been one full week of healing and my skin is looking great. 90 percent of the swelling and scabbing is gone. I am a little pink but the skin seems to be much smoother. Right now the two rolling scars on each cheek are hardly noticible. I will have to report back in a couple months. I should have backed off the aquafor/healing balm after the first day of healing since my skin is oily. I nearly had couple pimples come up after many years of not having any. The healing balm was too occlusive and now o now for next time. I was able to dry the pimples up by dabbing minute amounts of zit cream on each one. Also will have a micro peel at 2 weeks to get rid of the dead skin (this was suggested by the dermatologist)

The swelling in my face finally started to go down Saturday morning! And thank goodness because I was extremely worried. The oozing has diminished and skin is slowly starting to peel close to the center of my face. The aquafor seem to be causing some acne which I havent had an issue with in years so I am hardly using it at this point.

It has been 48 hours since the treatment and I have very little pain. Mostly what is uncomfortable is the swelling in my face which is pretty extreme. It scared me because it is to the point of being unrecognizable. Lots of pressure from my cheeks but the nurse in the office says its normal.
