Hi all, I had a CO2 laser procedure done months ago, and I am left not only with hyperpigmentation spots, but also with very visible indented dots from the laser canals as well as spots where it looks like I am missing a layer of skin - like scarring.
Some of these scarring spots appeared in time, the skin seemed smoother in the few weeks after the procedure, but the hyperpigmentation was worse. Since then, the hyperpigmentation is very very slowly starting to subside (although very minor improvements in 3 months) but the scarring seems to be getting worse.
I also tend to get hyperpigmentation now after I get a pimple (not messing with it, obviously).
In the photos I attached, 1st is before laser (no makeup), 2nd 5 days after laser, 3rd - 1m post, 4th - 2m post, last 2 are now - 3 months post - where you can clearly see the dots from the laser canals.
