A member asked:
Would the co2 laser i'm getting for raised acne scars get rid of the redness. skin turns red with slightest rubbing or touching...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The CO2 laser will not address the redness of your skin. Redness is usually due to telangiectasias , flushing, or rosacea. A different laser wavelength would be necessary to reduce redness (i.e., Pulsed dye lasers, Intense pulsed light, etc.). In fact, your redness will be slightly increased during the healing process.
