I had co2 laser done in december, so a few months back

I have noticed recently that my skin has been getting red after a shower, and burning a bit when applying moisturiser. This is despite using sunscreen every time I go out. The redness seems to be in areas where I got laser. Using factor 50, not sure why my skin is getting irritated, i assumed a couple of months I would be good to go. I didn't notice this problem last couple of months but there has been literally 0 sun where I live, now its starting to return.

 

Anyone else experienced this? how long for skin to recover totally back to normal?

I assumed it would be pretty much back by now. Whats even more bizarre is I am applying sunscreen 50 and still getting this.

It does sound normal to me to be honest.

co2 is a long recovery. A year or more.

Did you get any cosmetic improvement from the c02? I forget but what scars did you have again, was it the neck or face?
