Why hasn’t my face peeled/healed after Profound treatment and CO2?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I had Profound treatment followed by CO2 in the same day. I said I was concerned to the Doc. but was assured it was fine. I’m very worried,I’m only on day 7 but have extreme uneven thickskin & extreme redness/neck & under chin area is swollen numb & saggy.I was assured things would be fine by now! there is NO way I can return 2 work looking like this!! I understand it takes time but I look horrible – my face doesn’t seem to be healing at all & hasn’t peeled at all – HELP
A.I would recommend discussing your concerns with your treating physician. The combination of the two treatments at the same sitting is a very aggressive treatment. One would expect longer healing times from swelling and bruising. Peeling or lack thereof is not a concern. Hopefully you should begin to heal more quickly over the next few days. Please keep us informed of your progress. Good luck and be well.
