Co2 laser after silcone micro?

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

Co2 laser after silcone micro?

Postby Fcap05 » Tue Nov 02, 2010 4:06 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

I saw you this summer and had silicone injections for moderate acne scarring. I had previously had the smartxide dot co2 laser done a year ago and my question is, I paid for 2 treatments up front and they just called me to see if I was going to do the second. It's been a year since the first one and I had you do silicone this summer. Would you recommend/avoid a laser treatment after silicone treatment( potential hazards of heating the silicone, flashing, etc.)? I don't think a second laser will help much more with the scarring, but maybe some remaining pigmentation probs and texture. Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because I already paid for the laser last yr, but I'll take the loss if you advise against it. Plus, I plan on doing a round or two more of silicone with you in a couple of months.

Thanks, Chad
