A member asked:

Can you tell me if you've seen anyone who had fractional co2 treatment or vbeam laser treatment?

Dr. Vicki Levine answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Question not clear.: The vbeam laser is used to treated dilated blood vessels of your face or red birth marks, called port-wine stains. It does not create a wound on the skin. The fractionated co2 laser does create a wound and is used for reducing wrinkles and scars.

A member asked:

Is it possible to fix hypopigmentation caused by co2 laser resurfacing? I'm thinking about getting co2 laser treatment for my wrinkles, but I have dark skin. Pigmentation loss would be really obvious. If it happens, would there be a way to fix it?

A member asked:

Is co2 laser treatment safe? Could the co2 laser cause too much damage that would end up scarring? Or could it damage my eyes if the doctor's hand slips?
