Skin after laser CO2: The skin after co2 tx is always red then turns pink for several weeks before it settles to a more normal skin color. It is normal for the skin to peel as well. It is important to keep the skin very moist, to avoid any unnecessary or prolonged sun exposure, and to apply an abundant amount of sunscreen at this time. There are topical growth factors that can be applied to speed up the recovery.
