A young man had fractional CO2 laser treatment on his cheeks and forehead, presumably to treat acne scarring. He says that there are redness and hyperpigmentation issues still visible 4 months after the treatment. He asks what he should do, and adds he is a smoker.
New York oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Amiya Prasad has used the fractional CO2 laser in his practice since the mid 90s. In this video, he explains the possible causes of hyperpigmentation, the benefits, risks, and effects of the CO2 laser, alternatives to CO2 laser for treating acne scars, the healing process from laser treatment, and how smoking affects healing:

Thanks for this video, Dr Prasad. I have had two laser work done with a Korean doctor. After finding out about hyperpigmentation and fat loss on my own, I decided to stop laser for the time being. I am Asian and do not have lots facial fats. I am glad to learn all these because doctors don't tell us things and we do not know how to ask the right questions until we are educated. And such a good idea about using Retinol products after laser work.
You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped you.
Is your skin color come back to normal ?
retinol after laser definitely is a great advice. works for me as well
Hi I had a fully ablative co2 on my arm 5 weeks ago to correct scarring left from a tattoo that i had removed. The co2 made my scars worse and gave me new ones. This has been extremely stressful and I don't know what to do. Can you please give me advice?
Hi Rebecca,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You have to be very careful with laser treatment, especially with fully ablative CO2, as it is very aggressive, and not well regulated in many states so it can be done by a non-physician. I would have to perform a physical exam to give you the best advice for skin and tissue rehabilitation. I hope this helps you.
Thanks Dr I am from India and regularly watch your videos. Very informative videos. 👍
You're welcome, KAYAKALP LASER & SALON, Muktsar (Pb.)- Skin Care Solutions. Thanks for watching!
I respect your technical knowledge
Thank you Ainsley Spencer! Glad you found the video helpful!
Please i need your help, 7 days ago I put lutronic CO2 laser, was very high power and several times in the same place, that was on the nose to treat scars that I have in the area of The nose, the scabs have fallen and now I have many more holes than before, and I have certain white blisters, my skin looks worse, much more battered than before, please tell me what will happens and if I have the risk to have more scars than before? And i dont feel my skin in some áreas, its sleepy !
Thank you so much
Hi ohsheti,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I realize it is very stressful for you, but I do need to examine your face in a physical exam before I can determine recommendations for skin and tissue rehabilitation. For now, I suggest you follow up with your doctor who performed the treatment as they know the details of your treatment that I am unaware of. I hope this helps you.
Such a lovely thing to do, help people with your videos... ✨ 4 months..!. Hope it evened out
Thanks again for the appreciation, Victoria! Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Dear doc, my lower eyelids have been resurfaced by fractional co2 Laser, 18 weeks ago. I am wondering, why there is still redness by 4,5 months post laser - but far worse: it seems like I got some scarring on my lids! Indentations making my lids looking much older and pretty bad. My surgeon is gaslighting me. Any suggestions? I am thinking about trying tretionin after 6months to see if those indentations can fill in…
Hi @TheSchneeeewitttchen,
Sorry to hear about your problem, as well as your surgeon not addressing it. I hope you understand that I would have to physically examine your eyelids to give you a proper second opinion, and specific recommendations for treatment. If you can't see us, you can see another local doctor for an examination before you start treatment. I hope this helps you.
I had vbeam for broekn capillaries but I ended up with PIH hyperpigmentation. I'm 21 and I feel my life is over for me. I have skin of colour btw. Is there anything that can help
Hi fairyglitter r,
Sorry to hear about your problem. There are treatments for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, from peels to topical treatments. However, your skin does need to be examined before a recommendation can be made. I suggest you follow up with the doctor who performed the Vbeam to help you as they know the details about your treatment and skin condition. I hope this helps you.
Hello dr ... i was going to start my acne scar co2 lazer treatment due to acne scars.... but is it safe my dr suggested me to get this or microneedling(4-5) settings with one lazer treatment zzz and at last they prefer mnrf so can you suggest which i should prefer as my scars are not that deep but still i got so many on my cheeks... n they are redishbrown in colour.....just need your suggestion
Hi Chirag Wadhwa,
I have to defer to your doctor's judgment as they have physically examined your skin, face, and scars, and I have never seen them, so it's not my place to question their judgment. I hope this helps you.
hello dr i had done co2 leser one session one month ago i have no pigmentation issue now but i can afraid about pigmentation.and can i use alovera gel after co2 laser plz reply
Hi princess.doll123 princess.doll123,
I suggest you consult with your doctor who performed the treatment first, as I don't know the details about how extensive your laser treatment was, or what areas you had treated. I hope this helps you.
I had fractional co2 laser about 3 years ago . I am still experiencing noticeable redness and I’ve tried absolutely everything. Some dermatologist say I could have rosacea but that doesn’t run in my family nor do I experience all the symptoms. Is my face still healing or is 3 years out considered prolonged erythema and should/Can I do anything about this?
Hi bigboybear2323,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It isn't likely due to laser treatment done 3 years ago. Rosacea is not a genetic condition, and you don't need to experience all the symptoms to have it. Since your dermatologists have examined your skin, and I have not, I would have to defer to their judgment. I hope this helps you.
hi sir want to take appointment what to do plz suggest....
Hi rahool 7009,
I'm unclear of what issue you want treated, or your skin type, but I can make specific recommendations during your appointment after a physical exam. I hope to you see soon. You can make an appointment by filling out a contact form on www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, and we will get back to you.
Hi Doctor., which treatment is best for acne dark spots??
Hi Fari S,
There is no best treatment that suits every skin type, so an examination is needed before a specific mode of treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello I inherited a small white scar on my forehead due to an injury as an infant…would you recommend laser treatment to help minimize the appearance.?
Hi Shelly Q,
I would have to examine the scar, as well as your skin type before recommending a specific treatment for you. Lasers can cause hyperpigmentation, or raised scars in certain skin types. I hope this clarifies things for you.
First off, you're a great bloke for answering all the queries.
I had my second session few days ago, high intensity and now I have pigmentation on my cheeks that also looks like blisters. Should I be worried or do these go away eventually. I am from Nepal so I have medium skin complexion.
Side question, do I need to put on suncreen at night to protect my skin from rays coming from light, electronic devices? Thanks.
Hi Bip me,
I suggest you wait while your facial healing and appearance and improves, but if it hasn't over the next week or so, you can follow up with your doctor for a proper examination. I only advise sunscreen for sun exposure, and not for electric lights indoors. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thanks doc. So does that mean it's a normal short term side effect after laser resurfacing?
Also I'm confused is it or is it not necessary to protect the skin from infra red, blue lights?
Hi@@bipme4495,
I wouldn't classify it as "normal" without seeing it, but you will have to wait as it heals. You don't need to protect your skin from electric light, it is more intense solar radiation like UV exposure that you need to address. I hope this helps you.
@@bipme4495 hi bip
I am also planning to do co2 laser treatment for me scars (got from popping pimples). How was your overall experience? Did u get any side effects? What would you recommend? Please share your experience
My dermatologist Dr told me you have ice pick scar ,she recommended me co2 fraction laser treatment of 3 sitts.Can I do?
Hi Surendra Kumar,
I defer to your doctor's recommendation as they have examined your skin and your scars, and I have not. I hope this helps you.
will fractional c02 help with papular acne scars/anetoderma scars on my jaw/neck area?
Hi Kim Dahyun28,
Possibly, but an examination is needed to determine if CO2 laser is right for your skin type, and for the issues you want treated. I hope this helps you.
I have a question i am planning to have a co2 laser on my back because of macular amylodosis will it work?
Hi supermind14delicate,
I hope you understand that I would have to examine the problem before recommending a specific treatment. I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a proper examination for a medical opinion. I hope this helps you.
hellow sir i have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so what would be best treatment n how long would it take...if laser is option than how long would it take
Hi Rijan Chapagain,
I can't recommend laser treatment without examining your skin, especially if you have dark skin where laser treatment can make hyperpigmentation worse. There is no best treatment that applies to everyone, as skin color and other factors differ with individuals. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Rijan bhai Aapka pigemention kitne Dino bat automatic Shi huaa h
hi doctor, i got mole laser removal treatment for a small size mole. after 15 days when my wound was ok i felt its getting dark brownish pigmented skin although it is small but on my face i am worried.my doc is not replying i called many times sent the photo of scar. plz guide me how can i get rid of that pigmented scar after laser.
Hi Nimo 20,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I hope you understand that I can't make specific recommendations on how to treat it without examining it, or knowing details of your previous treatment. A physical evaluation is needed before trying to treat this. I hope this helps you.
Sir G aNy side effect of CO2 leaser?
Hi Basit Ali,
This video is about possible side effects, but it's not due to the laser itself, but the experience of the medical professional using it. Remember that lasers are just tools in the hands of experienced doctors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor, when can I have a chemical peel post fractional co2 laser? What king of peel can u recommend for PIH pist fractional co2 laser? Thank you
Hi @fainelynsakandal7125 ,
I would have to examine your skin before I recommend a chemical peel, especially since fractional CO2 laser is an alternative treatment for chemical peels. I would also need to examine your skin before recommending a treatment for PIH. I hope this helps you.
I just had my treatment I don’t think I’m loving it... the doctor just focusing on the payment method... didn’t even gave me full details about the treatment...didn’t even told me what to do after the treatment...
Hi Kaner Haj,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is important to find a doctor who is concerned about your results, not just the results in their bank account. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor, I had done my co2 laser mole removal treatment, week ago. How much time it will take to become smooth skin without any reddish effect. Now it is red spot
Hi Buzz,
It depends on the person, their skin type, how they heal, the type and size of the mole, etc. I suggest you follow up with your doctor to see how your healing is progressing. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dr .. after Co2 laser ..can I use cosmetic products.
Hi Ishu Rani,
It depends on the extent of treatment, the amount of healing needed after treatment, and the area of treatment. You would need to consult your performing doctor as they know details about your skin and the extent of treatment, which I am unaware of. I hope this helps you.
dermabrasion or Co2 Which one is better.???
Hi Best whatsapp status,
It depends on what you are looking to treat. In choosing a treatment, I first start with the problem, area, and person being treated, then the mode of treatment. Some treatments shouldn't be done on certain skin types to avoid complications like hyperpigmentation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
can you tell me how to remove dark spots on face and if 17 year boy take lazer light can it will effect or any side effects
Hi Shenoy Pereira,
We do use lasers for dark spots, but lasers can cause other issues like hyperpigmentation of hypopigmentation on darker skin. I would have to perform a physical exam to determine your skin type and color, and also determine the appropriate setting for the laser, or see if another treatment may be better for your case and skin. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I would really like to know your opinion regarding the effects of laser CO2 on skin thickness. I am 20 years old, with thick and light skin, and I have some acne scars. I am interested in getting an ablative CO2 laser, as I have tried 2 non-ablative fraxel and also 1 discovery pico, and they didn't do anything in my case. In some articles, I have read that CO2 laser can cause thinning of the skin and in some other articles I have read that CO2 is good for skin thickness and quality. So, the main question is if, besides hyperpigmentation, can an ablative CO2 laser also "harm" the skin thickness that is actually beneficial for the skin?
Hi Νέλλη Κ,
If you didn't get the results you wanted from previous treatment for acne scars, I suggest you stay with same doctor, instead of changing doctors and devices if you don't get the results you want. Acne scar treatment usually takes several treatment sessions, and several different modes of treatment before you see improvement. If you keep changing doctors, and trying different devices with another doctor, then the likelihood of damaging and thinning your skin increases. It's not the device itself that causes the skin to thin, but the experience and expertise of the doctor using it, as well as not being informed about details of your previous treatments. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Wow 20 years old and went laser treatment?
Hi@@eidznl1160,
The treatment was for acne scars, not for skin aging, so laser can be appropriate. I hope this clarifies things for you.
sir is it normal to break out the first eeek after a co2 laser treatment
Hi Vince Jiwatramani,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but it's not a normal reaction to CO2 laser treatment. You should follow up with your performing doctor for a proper examination of possible infection or other complications due to your treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello doctor I have redness and discoloration u under my eyes. I had nd yag laser non ablative can u help please?
Hi Shawn Boolell,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I suggest you have it examined by the doctor who performed your treatment as I have not seen your eye area or results, nor do I know how your treatment was performed. Your doctor can examine your eye area, and knows details of your treatment. I hope this helps you.
hello sir my name is shankey . I am 18 year old boy I have small acne scares on my right check .I have a doubt that is laser treatment is good OR bad I have seen many reviews on internet regarding laser treatment and I found that maximum reviews a negative .so should I go for a laser treatment or I will go with home remedies.please sir suggest me
Hi shankey kabtiyal,
Laser is not always the best treatment for acne scars as the right treatment depends on type of acne scar, type of skin, skin color, and other individual factors. I could not recommend specific treatments without a physical exam, but these include subcision, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, PRP injections, cosmetic fillers, and other treatments. The best thing to do is have a treatment plan outlined by one doctor, and follow it patiently as acne scar improvement does take more than one session and more than one type of treatment to improve. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How is co2 fractional laser for old stitch scar
Hi Mohsin Khañ,
CO2 laser can possibly improve the appearance of the scar, but I can't say for certain without examining the scar. Improving scars may take several modes of treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hallo doctor,thank you so much for answering question- I had pigmentation on my chin for first time of my life and I am 33yrs old and Asian .I used sunscreen 50 and always protect myself from sun.I don’t smoke and take healthy diet. I did laser on my pigmentation hoping it wil go away but I had opposite reaction-it first appear burn ofcourse,than skin start peeling off and I didn’t touch anything. It appear red and now it’s kind of 80% more darker Dan before.I start using retinol now.What should I do more?? I am getting so self conscious now and it is putting my self confidence down.
Hi kiki,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Lasers can cause hyperpigmentation in darker ethnic skin types, so it's important to have these types of treatments done by practitioners experienced with ethnic skin. I would have to examine your skin type, and your issue before making specific treatment recommendations for you, especially to avoid further complications. You can refer to this video about the causes of hyperpigmentation, and how it can be treated - czcams.com/video/4nER0bK1Fvw/video.html
How does it went away
..
Doctor , I have an acne scar and I have loose skin !. I am 27 year old ! My dermatologist recommended me to go CO2 fractional laser treatment, so I just want to ask that the pros and cons of this laser and the effective age to take up laser treatment.?
Hi Makakmayum Henna,
Fractional CO2 laser can be an effective part of a treatment plan for acne scars, but results will depend on your doctor's judgment and skill using the laser, not the device itself. A treatment plan for acne scars usually requires more than one mode of treatment, and several treatment sessions before improvement is seen, so it's important to trust and stay with one doctor rather than keep changing doctors and modes of treatment. You can refer to this video about why there is no single best treatment for acne scars - czcams.com/video/1AIRQbIuPrM/video.html
Hi Dr. I’m a 26 yr old woman and I’ve had co2 fractional laser (writes 36J- 2 passes on my records) 3 weeks ago . I think the overall result is progressive but I see very light grid like prints on my forehead and side of the cheeks. Looks quite reddish from close. I don’t drink or smoke and I’m worried pls help.!
Hi N Colgan,
Healing may be still be required for your case if you are still seeing the grid pattern. As I have not seen the extent of these effects, or know the fine details of your treatment, you need to follow up with your performing doctor about where you are in the healing stage of your treatment. I hope this helps you.
Your light grid faded or not because I also have grid 😢
same😢😢 ive had co2 fractional laser exactly 1 month ago now but the grid marks are still in my cheeks😢
@@judyannroman1367faded or not if faded how does it faded
hi I wanted some information. 1 week ago I had a c02 laser session for acne spots, now my skin is still a little red but for 2 days I have been seeing dark spots on my cheeks is it normal?
Hi Jolly Jo,
I don't have details about your treatment, or your skin sensitivity, and I can't identify the spots based on just your description, so I suggest you have your doctor who performed the treatment examine it. I hope this helps you.
do u still have the dark marks? I have the same issue now and dying of worrying 😭.
What's the best laser for olive skin prone to burning? My skin's a pale olive, but I've still been burned so I want the safest laser treatment.
Hi Rachel Smith,
Your skin needs to be examined to determine the best treatment for you. Keep in mind it's not the laser itself that determines results, or complications, but the experience and judgment of the doctor using the laser that are most important. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thanks so much Dr. Prasad! I really appreciate it. I will look for the best doctor near me.
You're welcome,@@rachelsmith5643!
i have done co2 laser with prp 15 days ago now my forehead appears tiny pimples.. also itching? it is side effect?
Hi Fiza Naeeem,
Pimples are usually due to oil and blocked glands, which are not associated with CO2 laser or PRP. Itching is a possible indication of healing in this area. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor can i do dermapen session in 1 month interval of co2 laser ..please give some suggetion ..its very important ?it will be safe or not ? I dont have deeper scars it not much also .i guess .mine laser treatment was not aggresive so ..it is save to do dermapen session in 1 month interval?
Hi jenifer grande,
Depending on your individual skin conditions, I recommend you space your treatments 4-6 weeks apart to allow for healing and collagen formation, and not make them too aggressive. Alternating between microneedling and laser is also a good idea, and you can consider PRP as well for collagen induction and to improve skin quality. I actually recently did a video about this:
czcams.com/video/JSgQEzuNLm8/video.html
I hope this clarifies things for you
MY FACE SKIN IS VERY SENSITIVE AND IN MY FACE A BIG SCAR IS THERE.SO, THEREFORE I WANT TO DO LASER TREATMENT ON MY FACE.IS THIS SAFE??
Hi TECHNO TV,
You should start with treating whatever your skin issues are before deciding a laser is the best treatment. Your doctor can recommend the best treatment, be it laser or otherwise, by examining your skin issues first.
Hello Dr. Great video and insights!
May I please ask if Smartxide laser with low setting is safe for skin of colour and will not increase the chance of PIH? I have ice pick scars, and the place I live in, I dont get much of an option - its all mostly Co2 lasers.
Hi Dheepa,
The safety and results of the laser treatment depend on the skill and expertise of the doctor performing the treatment more than the brand of laser. If your doctor has used this laser on others with dark skin, then they are better able to tell you about safety and effectiveness since they can examine your skin, and the acne scars you want treated. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD
Thanks so much Doc for taking the time out to reply, appreciate it.
May I please ask if Co2 laser with conservative settings works for acne scars? I'm trying to weigh the options if its really worth going for it if there are no results. Or would it be smarter to opt for RT lasers instead?
Hi@@dheepa943,
There is no single best treatment for acne scars, and measuring effectiveness is often trying a treatment, waiting for your skin's reaction, then treating again. You can refer tp this video about it - czcams.com/video/1AIRQbIuPrM/video.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks a lot, doc. Take care

Hello Dr.. I have mild acne scars on my face.. My dr has prescribed me for Trifractional lazer.. Is this the best lazer treatment for acne scars... Plz comment.. Thank u
Hi Asma Shaikh,
Laser treatment is not always the best treatment for acne scars, and the brands of lasers are not as important as the skill and experience of the doctor using them. Your doctor can give better judgment as I have not examined your acne scars or your skin. If you are not sure, have a consultation with another doctor who can examine your skin, and decide from there. I hope this helps you.
Hi doc...
It has been 3 weeks already after CO2 laser and now blackhead and whitehead appear on my face. Should I remove it by myseft or let it remove by itself? And is it okay to my face?

Hi Nidhi Dewangan,
If you are happy with your dermatologist, and trust their judgment, then you should trust their treatment. I do suggest you ask about their experience using laser treatments on patients with darker skin, and how they avoid issues like hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation. I hope this helps you.

Hello doc, have you ever seen or read a patient receiving rosacea after receiving co2 fractional laser on face?
Hi @denizbeytekin9853 ,
Any laser skin resurfacing treatment has the risk of causing inflammation in people with hypersensitive skin, but I have not heard of or encountered laser treatment causing rosacea. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello sir.. I was thinking to go for laser treatment for my acne scars.. But i m worried about its side effects.. Do this procedure have any long time side effects.. And can i use other skin products like retanol, chemical pillers, vitamin c in future after this treatment. :-)
Hi vishakha kale,
It’s important to remember that the laser itself does not cause complications like facial volume loss, nor does it determine successful results, but rather the experience and judgment of the doctor using the laser or other device. The device is just a tool, and it’s the doctor’s judgment using the tool that separates great results from ineffectiveness, or potential complications. The performing doctor can also recommend what products you can use after the laser treatment. You can refer to this video about it - czcams.com/video/kZuz3PoTi0I/video.html
Sir prp is good for skin or not
Hi sandhu kp,
Yes, PRP is definitely good for improving skin quality, thickness, vascularity, and overall skin health.
Is it okay to undergo CO2 fractional laser after my isotretinoin treatment for my cystic acne? Thank you doc.
Hi Romar Furio,
I don't recommend any aggressive treatments until at least a year after you stop taking isotretinoin as the drug does leave your skin very fragile. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi, does hyperpigmentation disappear by the time after Co2 laser?
Hi @ZahraZahra-vd4gz,
I do mention at the end of the video that it is possible for pigmentation, and redness to fade over time, but it also depends on the severity. I suggest you meet with the doctor about expectations, or you can get a second opinion by having your skin assessed by an experienced doctor. I hope this helps you.

Hi Ash,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Your skin would need to be examined before treatment can be recommended. If you can’t see us for an examination, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for a proper second opinion. I hope this helps you.
Helo sir I had small pores and on cheeks can I get rid off without lazer I had sensitive skin and I had hyper pigmentation around my mouth how can I reduce it I had two yellow peels but nothing worked for pigmentation plz suggest me a safe treatment
Hi Pavani.chinna Chinna,
You can consider treatments like Q-switch laser, which can be safe on darker skin, with minimal risk of pigmentation, or non-heat treatments like PRP, but a physical exam is needed before determining what can be done for you. You can refer to this video about treatment options - czcams.com/video/A1g8cMavhpk/video.html
Sir I have one question...Can lazer treatment causes cancer??pls reply
Hi,
No, that is highly unlikely as the radiation used in laser treatment has been established as safe. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, I had co2 laser a week ago but not all my face was treated. There are some untreated parts or spaces between the treated and untreated areas. Is this going to cause problems in my skin in the future?
How is it now?
Does co2 laser treatment has good effect on molloscum contagious?
Hi kb rocksss,
There are several treatment options for molloscum contagiosum, including CO2 laser, but your skin type and condition need to be assessed before a specific treatment modality is recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD yes sir..doctor told me to do Co2 laser treatment...is it safe na?
Hi @@kbrocksss8005 ,

I have hyperpigmentation , I'm a black girl, and I'm thinking of doing the Laser CO2 should I do it, or what is the best way to get rid of hyperpigmentation on black skin
Hi Felicite Dambre,
CO2 laser is not advised for dark skin because it is likely to cause hyperpigmentation. African skin does have different shades of darkness, so a physical examination is needed to determine the best approach to treat your hyperpigmentation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir as, I have done my seatings of Co2 laser for hyperpigmentation on my right cheek, bt the problem is tht as my doctor use lazer also in ineffective area, which is now become dark, so wht should I do for recovery

Doctor i am having redness on my skin after 4 months of fractional co2 laser , i have already consult with my doctor but its not working..can you please suggest me the skin lightnening cream ?
Hi dhivya lakshmi,
Sorry to hear about your problem. If you have darker skin, generally fractional CO2 laser is not advised as it can cause hyperpigmentation. I would need to examine your issue more closely to make a recommendation, but I think you should discuss hyperpigmentation with the doctor who performed the treatment on you.
But Doctor am a fair person. I would like you to tell one thing , I had 4 sittings of co2 fractional laser but I Didn't get the proper result still my skin seems to be red and now am continuing the treatment. when will the redness disappear or it will be stay permanent on the skin? after how many months redness will totally disappear? please tell me sir
Hi dhivya lakshmi,
I don't know the details of your treatment or skin, so I really would need to perform a physical exam on you. Laser treatments have different energy settings, and exposure time by number of passes. Also, you don't indicate the time between sessions because healing is important, and exposure should be limited. Also, I need to see your skin type. Have you consulted your doctor or practitioner? They know your skin better than I would because I've never examined it.

Hi Doc, thank you for taking YOUR time to help many! The oath you took is appreciated even if it is rarely seen or heard these days...Some docs do care so thank you!!
I too had CO2 laser and am of Italian decent. I do not smoke and take great care of myself. My twin sister and I had the Active FX C0 2 done on the same day one month ago and have grid lines all over our faces. They are still very apparent, even with make up....Our skin turned dark.....not red. We have had NO SUN! The doc that performed it, shrugs it off and says it could take months to go away.....Help! I have SO much on the calendar for this summer. I am sick at heart...money NOT well spent...scared! I really look freaky!
Hi Urantia Wins,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but thank you for your kind words! I often do not perform fractional CO2 on Mediterranean or olive skin tones due to the problem of hyperpigmentation, which sounds like what happened to you. I would need to examine your skin to see if anything can be done to improve it. For now, you can wait it out, and make sure you are applying sunscreen regularly to prevent the problem from getting worse. In the future, you can consider fractional Erbium or ND:Yag laser as they can work on some darker skin tones. I hope this helps you.
Hey, i have ur grind pattern improved or not? I also had co2 laser and got small dots and grind pattern all over my face. Please reply
@@AmiyaPrasadMDhave you tried Erbium or other creams? as I have the same issue 😞
Hi@@lolafalcxn,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The results of laser treatment depend more on the experience and expertise of the doctor or practitioner performing the treatment, rather than the device itself.
If you suffered complications after laser treatment, I would have to examine your skin before I can make specific treatment recommendations for you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello..doc...i've done fractional co2 laser in my stretch marks at tigh and part of my legs it was my first session but i worried because after 4 weeks the wounded stretchmarks seems not a good result because its get dark..and its like discoloration of the affected areas
Hi Alexis Fernandez,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you see a doctor with a lot of experience with lasers and heating devices, and a lot of different types of these tools. There are other lasers or radiofrequency devices that can treat stretchmarks that are not as aggressive as fractional CO2, and may be better suited for your skin type and color.
Same is happening with me how does it went away please suggest me as I have completed 4 weeks just right now ..please help me
Hi@@laplace1623,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope you understand that I would have to examine your skin before making treatment recommendations, otherwise suggestions without an examination can make it worse. I suggest you bring up your concerns with the doctor performing your current treatment. If this doesn't help, you need to have your skin examined by another doctor for a proper second opinion. I hope this helps you.
Hi Doct
My name is Talha
I have done my co2 laser treatment just 4 weeks ago it was my 4th session all of the sessions was perfect. But on 4th session i dont know what happens might be machine was not working properly and this session was done by helper not by my doct. So i think she choose very high frequency which i also felt. But she said it will be fine.
But now peeling of outer later of skin has been done. But the place where high intensity laser got hitted it leaves a black spot. Now i dont know what to do. And when i complained to my doct abt this he just said thats not problem it would be fine in some days.but in my first session it heal up in 1 week now 4 weeks have been passed but this spot is still there.
Kindly help me how to recover this black spot.
I have also done 1 session of PRP for this but spot is still there.

My doctor recommended the fractional co2 laser for acne scars, so is it good to go and do it??
Hi Dagher Haneen,
There are many ways to treat acne scars. Fractional CO2 laser will take several treatments, so you will have to be patient with it and stick to your doctor's plan. Generally speaking, fractional CO2 laser is good for acne scars that are not too deep, and have similar depth. It is also better for lighter skinned people. It is important to discuss your skin color with your doctor as fractional CO2 laser shouldn't be used on darker skin. It is also important to look at your doctor's before and after pictures of people he treated with similar problems and skin type as you. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thank you, I did it, my doctor told me that I need at least 4 times of this operation, I really have to be patient, hope to get the results I want.
Hi Dagher Haneen,
Yes, it is best to be patient with your doctor, and complete the treatment sessions before evaluating results. Treating acne scars really does need patience for the amount of treatments and to wait for the results. I wish you the best of luck for your treatment.
Hi doc! Is it normal to not scab and peel after a fractional scar laser? But my doctor said it was supposed to scab. I did it for my surgery scar last 2 week. And the area is still red and pink. Is that normal or dangerous?
Hi kst. argyi,
It is normal not to scab or peel, determining on the temperature, and exposure from your laser treatment. It is best to ask your performing doctor as I have not seen the results, or know details of your skin type. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you for your reply doc. I would like to ask one last question. Is it ok to drink alcohol or smoking after 5 days of fractional scar laser treatment? Does it effect the result?
Hi@@kstargyi,
Smoking will affect the quality of skin, and reduce collagen needed for healing. Smoking is never OK . Excessive alcohol can be dehydrating, so I suggest you ask your doctor about how much it should be limited for your case. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Which laser is best for indian skin??
Hi Abrar Sayyad,

Hi Ritul Verma,
I hope you understand that I need to examine your skin type and color before recommending laser treatment as it could make pigmentation worse in darker skin. Also, since results or complications from laser treatment are determined by the person using the laser, and not the device itself, it is difficult to recommend laser treatment if someone else performs the treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi, Doctor. I am Asian, and I have done Fractional CO2 Laser 3 weeks ago. I still have some mild redness on my upper cheeks near my under eyes, especially on my right side because it was were I felt the stinging sensation the most for almost the whole week of my healing time.
I developed 2 tiny brown dots on both cheeks. I am anxious that my redness will turn to brownish pigmentation. I went back to my doctor, and she prescribed me melanin blocker cream, Hydrocortisone cream and Hydroquinone cream. Do you think this is just something temporary, and is normal for this redness to take time to go away?
Thank you.
Hi @fainelynsakandal7125,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I usually use a radiofrequency device instead of fractional CO2 laser on Asian skin types due to the risk of hyperpigmentation.

What did your doctor say about your current condition? It may take more than one treatment for best results. I hope this helps you.
Wow I was going to get this done before my wedding in six months but after reading the comments I don't know. How can so many people have problems.
Hi Random Name,
Laser treatment can still be safe and effective with an experienced doctor. It’s important to remember that the laser itself does not cause complications like facial volume loss, nor does it determine successful results, but rather the experience and judgment of the doctor using the laser or other device. The device is just a tool, and it’s the doctor’s judgment using the tool that separates great results from ineffectiveness, or potential complications. You can refer to this video about it - czcams.com/video/kZuz3PoTi0I/video.html
