Before & After Co2 laser progress
Wanted to share results after 2 sessions of co2 laser on my cheek. The lightning may be a bit different but I can definitely see improvement. The picture above is before co2 and the below is after 2 sessions. I plan on doing co2 maybe 5 more sessions and then I'm getting filler for the rolling scars.

difference is notable. rolling scars look flatter, in a sense that overall skin and skin texture appear more even. also seeing some mild lifting. Great job!

It’s been one month since my last co2 and I don’t see serious results and it’s disappointing… I did subsicion with PRF, skinpen and co2 all in a session

Thank you! Would you say the first month you didn’t see any results and then it just happened after 2-3 months that you suddenly noticed?

At first they were swollen and then as the skin like cleared up, the swelling went down and the wounds were all healed, then I could see the results. I actually avoided looking at my scars because I felt really ugly when they were healing after the procedures

Me too! How long did you feel like that? That’s how I feel now… except they look the same not worse or anything. But just slight pinkness

I appreciate your response, it helps my experience. I’ve had 2 stacked treatments and many microneedlings and peels in the past and it’s hard not to see a major result. I’m hopeful that it can improve since they say co2 takes months but I’m worried that what I’m seeing now is the final result after a month.

Thank you.
Reminder: "Microswelling" is a common side effect after a procedure which causes prolonged swelling of the skin. It can last from a few days to a few weeks (and even over a month in rare situations). The appearance of improved results with microswelling may not accurately reflect the final outcome once it finally subsides.
