This CO2 laser resurfacing case was performed by Dr. Nasrin Mani on a 63-year-old female patient. The treatment delivers controlled columns of laser energy across the skin's surface, leaving surrounding tissue intact to support the healing process. What you're seeing in the after photo is the skin shortly following treatment: the forehead and cheeks show visible redness and early healing activity, which is a normal part of how fractional CO2 works. The skin is actively responding and this phase is expected before the surface settles. If you're considering this treatment, it's worth understanding that the after image here documents the skin mid-recovery, not a final healed result.
