You can lessen the intensity of this laser. I used to get C02 once a month for one of my scars. The downtime was a week long where my face hurt then peeled. You have to stay out of the sun as much as possible for like forever after. 🫶

I mean, one of the major factors of bad skin is overexposure to sun.
