A lady had CO2 laser treatment 2 months ago. Now she’s noticing some puffiness and lines. Her plastic surgeon advised that collagen is still forming and that she is dehydrated, even though she says she moisturizes daily. She wants to know if she can expect some improvement.

New York oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Amiya Prasad, M.D. reviews her concerns in this video, and explains how the collagen remodeling phase of the wound healing process can last for as long as a month, so it is possible to see more improvement in skin quality over time, as well as other treatments besides lasers to improve lines, wrinkles, and induce collagen in the skin:

1:08 — Dr. Prasad details his background training in cosmetic oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as his experience in using lasers in his practice since the mid-90s

1:57 — How lasers are not an instant solution for wrinkles; and the two different types of wrinkles

2:47 — How deeper lines can be addressed by relaxing certain muscles with Botox® before undergoing laser treatment

4:00 — Dr. Prasad discusses the wound healing process and how the collagen remodeling phase can last for as long as a month

4:34 — The importance of allowing enough time to see improvement; and understanding that skin can only take up to a certain amount of laser energy

5:18 — Dr. Prasad talks about how he routinely uses platelet-rich plasma in his practice, particularly in combination with laser treatments; and what PRP does for the skin
