Hi guys, I just wanted to ask anyone who had fractional co2 treatment done that did they see an improvement immediately after the laser or over a period of time? And does anyone know how long does it take for the collagen to grow after the procedure?

Thanks in advance.

i havent had it done but might do it in the future. i saw a plastic surgeon who said i would need 5-6 treatments spaced one month apart. i think he mentioned something about how it takes months for collagen production and that i would start to see results after a few sessions so i am guessing at least 3-6 months or so.

Too see reasonable improvement - you would need at least 2-3 sessions over at least a 3 month period (ideally longer though) + a few more months to see the actual final results (3-6 months).

My derm said the same thing to me that I would need a couple of treatments to get my desired results and he would do them with one month gap in between too. Hopefully we will get our desired results.

That sounds more like fraxel restore, not a co2 laser.

Hey I got one question and hope you can help out, do you think that getting two treatments done with one month gap help produce new collagen faster? and can fractional co2 laser help ice pick scars as well?

Thanks

I think most of them do 2-3 treatments in a span of 2-3 months and then wait 3 months to see what happens. That seems to be the ideal thing to do - if you can combine it with subcisision, even better.

For ice picks I would look into tca cross first, laser after.
