I experienced a complication after getting a lip lift procedure several years ago, I developed a webbed scar on one ala of my nose that I believe was caused by the doctor singing a piece of my skin when he cauterized the wound. Since then, he tried to excise the scar twice but he came back and instead Ive been seeing a dermatologist for at least 6 sessions of C02 laser to the area. While the...
I am 49, and have crinkly skin under my eyes that I would like to tighten up. I am getting an upper bleph in a few weeks and asked to have CO2 at the same time under the eye. They don't eant to do it because I have olive skin. The surgeon recommended maybe a fat graft, which I'm open to, but it doesn't address the wrinkles. Is there an alternative for olive skin? I mainly want to address the...
Hello! I was born with a hemangioma that was very large and red in the center of my forehead. Doctors were convinced it would go away, and while it did lose its color and some size, a circular, elevated mark remained. Around 12 years old, a surgeon attempted to remove it. However, he was scared to ruin my face, from what I remember giving me an eyebrow lift or constant 'worry face', so there...
I had the C02 laser 35 days ago. My skin is still a mess. Grids marks dry red and very tender. I keep going back to my doctor. He prescribed a steroid cream but that made it soooo irritated. Now he says use water only. HELP! Anyone else going thru this ?

I have a hypersensitive rosacea skin I want to get rid of acne and pigmentation
I had CO2 laser done 4 months ago. Ever since then, Ive had a staph infection that wont seem to go away, pustules all over my face, prolonged redness, splotchiness, scars. I need help!
I am interested in getting a CO2 laser treatment on my face, but I've read reviews from people who think CO2 lasers caused fat loss on their face. Is there any risk at all of this?
Primarily cheek pads?
I was wondering if co2 results can be the same as needling with prp? Is co2 superior to needling for scars and wrinkles?
I want to do one of the two procedures, but most of the offices have aestheticians or nurses perform these treatments. I am very scared or letting someone with a two year degree do such a delicate treatment. How would I start to find an official ce who is really qualified to find these treatments?
I do not want Fraxel or any fractionated lasers. I'm white as a ghost with a few very light brown age spots, mild laxity, slightly large pores. My facial skin chronically feels like like sandpaper and has a slight ruddy pinkness. Vbeam and Ipl did absolutely nothing. I have tried every topical and they do nothing for the roughness. I want to laser the whole top later off and start fresh. I do...
