If you haven’t read
Part 1 of my review on Fractional CO2 Laser, click here.
Here, I will be showing
you the progress on my face after a week, and after two months following the
treatment.
DAY
2
As you can see in the
picture, there was a “net pattern” all over my face in the days after my first
treatment session. I have to admit that my face looked bad, and I had to wear a
face mask to hide it. The doctor said it was okay to wear make-up after
treatment, as long as the product does not contain acid. But I still thought it
was quite inconvenient as the makeup may look botched because of my rough skin.
So I opted to go make-up free for about two weeks. I only wore sunblock, as Dr
Lashela advised me to not go under the sun for too long, and to always wear
moisturiser and sunblock for protection. This is to protect my skin from further
burning and pain.
The red dots were
actually my pimples, which turned even redder after the treatment. You can see
bruises on my chin as a result of the needle-like treatment that was part of
the process.
Despite the rough
texture of my skin, I felt no pain on the second day. However, the net pattern
was very obvious, and there were bruises on some parts of my face.
DAY
5
On day 5, the net
pattern on my face was becoming less obvious. As you can see, my skin has
gotten a lot brighter now, and I have started to wear eye makeup.
The skin on my chin was
starting to peel, which meant I was going to have new skin soon. The peeling
process is a must because it helps to replace my rough skin with new smooth
skin.
I was advised not to
peel the skin off myself, as it is going to interrupt the healing process. Just
let the peelings fall off by itself.
Other than that, the
redness of my pimples has also started to fade. However, the treatment does not
get rid of active pimples or acne. The treatment’s main purpose is to help
smoothen out wrinkles and scars. I opted for the treatment because I wanted to
smoothen out my acne scars.
DAY
8
On the 8th
day after I went for the treatment, the net pattern across my face has
disappeared almost entirely. I didn’t even realise that the peeling has come
off, because I did not notice any peelings other that what occurred on the 5th
day.
I did not experience
any pain throughout the past week, despite being warned earlier by Doctor
Lashela. I guess I have tough skin…lol
You can see that my
skin has gotten better and my acne scars are less obvious. I still get pimples
every now and then, but they usually just go away by themselves. I was not
allowed to wear any skincare that contained harsh chemicals or acid, so I
depended on Rosken moisturiser, which I bought at Watson’s. It is mild and did
not contain any harsh chemicals.
I also used Biore milk
sunblock. It is light and is absorbed quickly. For cleansing, I used Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser because it was recommended
by many doctors as a mild cleanser for sensitive skin.
My skin was looking bright and the depth of my
scars has decreased. I am happy with the results. I can wear my foundation by
now, and people have said that my skin has improved a lot since Day 1. The
bruises have disappeared almost completely as well.
2
MONTHS
Now after two months,
my skin is much smoother and more radiant, and there have been no after-effects
from the treatment. I have less dark scars on my cheek too. I am very happy
with the treatment, and I really got the best service while I was there,
considering that it was sponsored.

I'm so glad the treatment worked for you!
Usually those treatments make your skin look and feel even wosrt for a few days, before they start to really take effect. I think it's very important for the customers to know that, because I've seen a lot of people going crazy after tratments like this, since they didn't expect it.
Your skin looks wonderful! Great review on the whole treatment and such wonderfull explanation of the process!

Yeah, I'm glad that they already consult me before doing the treatment and they also said some of the after effects of the treatment. Honestly, I didn't get through the horrible ones(maybe becoz my skin is tough!haha) but the bruises on my chin really takes some times to heal.Other than that, I don't really experience any discomfort aside from seeing my rough skin for a few days.
Thank you so much. I'm glad that my skin turn better after I got to start my whole skincare again :)
kalau bekas jerawat dalam agak2 bole ilang ke.. brpa kosnye ye
Oh, clinic ni pun ade treatment untuk bekas jerawat or "acne scar" jugak. Sy x berapa pasti berapa kos utk tu tp treatment yg sy buat ni RM1500 per treatment.
It's my first time reading a fractional CO2 laser review. I didn't know the downtime was that bad, but the result is great!! love it!

Hi mizu. .During the down time u use skin care ape ey?coz I baru 4 days buat this treatment..how the net pattern clear from your face?n how many days the red spot clear from your face?
Hi reen, sy x ingat pulak brand moisturiser tu tp you boleh beli kat watsons (tube warna biru) suit sensitive skin and free alcohol/acid.Ada 2 things je yg saya guna utk face, that moisturiser and sunblock(biore perfect milk). For the pattern, I think a week baru die start peel off but if you see any peel off, better jgn peel yourself. Biar dia peel sendiri. For red spot, the minor red ones need a week to heal and the most red one, I got bruises after the redness hilang tp x rasa sakit pun, tp bruises tu take time sikit nak heal :)
Thanks mizu.. =) can't wait to see the result..I rase cm dracula jp..can't expose to sun..he3..
haha..xpe, for short time. I pun pakai face mask about two weeks kalau pergi outside..haha..org pun tgk semacam je...XD
