Doc I have an interesting question and since you are all about skin care and co2 laser I thought you might know what is going on with my skin I am 12 weeks out from fractional co2, second time, after waiting six months in between. My skin was amazing until this 12 week period I have a circular red spot on my face and it kinda look like ring worm 🤦‍♀️. I sent my doc a pic and she thinks it might be fungus so I’m applying lotrimin cream today. It kinda looks like a chemical burn. Her esthetician seems to think it’s not fungal and to stop niacidimide and cereve pm and Trent for a week. Have any of your patients experienced this?

Can you tell me is it normal at 3 months to see no crinkles under my eyes when smiling and other days they appear?? It’s driving me crazy. 🤪 one day look great next day not so good. I did ask if we can do another co2 after my six month wait period, it would be my third and she said no I have to wait a year She did do two six months apart. So why can’t I do another?

Dr. Joe, your videos have been so helpful! On Day 3 of using Vaniply, my face and neck erupted with oil-filled boils and raw areas. My Drs office instructed me to discontinue the ointment, up the vinegar soaks, and I've taken Benadryl and Tylenol for pain and itch. They did not feel I was infected or need antibiotics, and said they've seen a few cases with severe reactions like mine. After the boils cleared, I tried the ointment again on Day 6, and my skin developed red bumps everywhere. I discontinued the ointment again, even though I'm very dry. It's now Day 8 and most of my peeling is over except the neck which had a light laser but is the slowest to heal and has very raw patches. Have you had patients with skin too sensitive for ointment?

At Day 5, the nurse recommended I switch to Cetaphil cleanser and Aquaphor ointment and I healed up quickly. I’m the rare case of skin not tolerating Vaniply. Thank you posting such helpful videos!

Great videos, part 1 and 2! Thank you for being so detailed and informative! That is very useful and important information but also very hard to find in most cases. I have been searching for after care for many days now and your videos were the first that answered all of my questions! So now I have a concern. My Derm, who is GREAT, does need to update his post-op instructions he admitted. We were emailing afterwards with a few questions and one was about washing-when 24 or 48 hours after- because one thing was said and another was typed out on the instructions. It was determined to do this after 48 hours and keep the aquaphor on. I was also told I could move to a Cetaphil/CeraVe type moisturizer by day 3 or 4 and I did. I emailed about that however because I felt like my face drank up the moisturizer and would be dry almost 15 minutes later. It was an exhausting process. I have moved to alternating (aquaphr and CeraVe Moisturizer) to give my pores a break but to also keep my face hydrated as much as I possibly can. I am also washing 2-3X a day. I am concerned though during the 1 and 3/4 of the day (this includes two nighttimes) that I had taken a total break from the aquaphor and the periods where my face was dry as a bone for times up to an hour at a time...way longer when sleeping---only because I would moisturize and then it would evaporate into my skin quickly and with 5 year old twins sometimes I just did not have that second to reapply 15-30 minutes later. Now I am using a sample that my Derm gave me, Resurfix. It is pretty much a nicer version of aquaphor, I guess? I see what you are saying with keeping it "greasy" for the first week. But do you think I may have jeopardized the optimal results with having those couple of days without "grease" a.k.a. aquaphor?

Dr. Joe, what's your opinion on Fraxel Laser for fine lines on upper lip , under eyes and brown spots on the skin in general (mostly on the upper cheek area). If you have any type of flesh colored permanent make up on your face will all lasers turn the area black? I had a scar revision 13 months ago after trying to camouflage the original scar with a light tattoo pigment (specifically made for use as permanent makeup...NOT regular tattoo ink). Well that does not work. The scar has lightened significantly but there is just a bit of an edge to it that makes it more noticeable. My dilemma is that I wanted to try some kind of laser perhaps fraxel but I believe I have some residual flesh colored pigment on one side of the scar and I'm afraid to do a laser procedure for fear of it turning the pigment black, hence giving me a worse problem....Please help......

I shouldn’t be telling a doctor this but here goes. I am a recently retired cop and my last homicide was just something else to say the least. I had quit smoking for 20 years and I fell off the wagon after that incident. Good news is I weaned over to vaping recently and trying to wean off that too but my eyes can not unsee stuff! I don’t do much, I do have it down to a dull roar and I am wanting to get co2 done in March. I can absolutely do my very best to stop but if I can’t go cold turkey is this going to make my skin die off like it could with a face lift? Or just slow down the healing process? I count every time I vape and I have it down to an equivalent of about 5 traditional cigarettes a day. I’m doing my best to stop. Thank you sir for your time

@@jniamtuiii thank God no lung issues yet I actually just had a lung X-ray. Thank you for your honest answer doc. My surgeon is reevaluating saying since my skin is clear with no issues maybe co2 is not a good option for me. My goal was to lift the cheeks and face as they are beginning to slightly fall south with normal aging. I was under the impression this could lift the skin and apparently it does not. We are going to do morph8 lower face (which I don’t think that is the best machinery out there) and ETwo under the eyes, cheek filler touch up and call it a day. Unless you can recommend a better option for skin rejuvenation. Lifting is a surgical procedure and I’m not quite ready for that.

Dear Dr Niamtu, I am treating 10 week old scarring that resulted from an aggressive fully ablative erbium and fractional co2 to the eye area. The skin is thickened from the eyelid crease to below the brow and has a very obvious demarcation line before it drops down to the normal skin level. Can this demarcation line be blended in now with a fractional laser or do I really have to wait a full year for it to maybe flatten on its own? I have recieved 3 lots of vbeam and cortisone / 5fu injections which have helped mostly the tiny scattered scars under the eye. But this thick area remains and I'd like to make it less obvious now if possible. Thank you

Hello Dr. Niamtu, I had CO2 fractional laser done on Dec 15. It is Day 17 and my skin is still red in some areas and has turned reddish brown in other areas. Is this normal? If so, how much longer do I expect to wait to get a skin with a uniform tone?

Hard to say exactly as I don't know what settings you had, but usually it takes 5-7 days before things begin to blend

Thank you for your immediate reply. I don't know the settings used but what I know is that it was deep rather than superficial energy setting. Today, its Day 18. On Day 7, I was so happy with what the results may be; skin was pink and peeling and I thought the skin would blend in the next couple of days. On Day 18, skin is still red with patches of reddish brown.

Great question. I would say yes, in the winter months, but we do a lot of school teachers etc in the summer. If you live in Miami, there is not winter, so sometimes you have to do it when you have the time.

You really can't shave for about 10 days, then I recommend a floating head (Norelco) type electric razor and shave in the shower after really wetting the facial hair. You can put shaving cream on 10 minutes before shower.
