Laser resurfacing provider: Not specified

I had gotten CO2 Laser Surgery about 8 months ago. My face has never looked worse. All my scars are still visible, just more so. On the right side of my face where I initially had no scars I now have a big mark that looks like a brush burn. My skin is also rippled now. I went in for the surgery with 4 scars and came out with my cheeks covered in scars. The risks that come along with this surgery are too much and my plastic surgeon failed to mention most of them.

Hi, I was thinking about getting laser resurfacing but have heard only good things. I saw your comment and that worries me. Did you have a board certified doctor? the scars arent going away?
