No, quite the opposite- the idea of gaskets is to ensure that an engine gives HIGH compression. If your car has just had a cylinder head gasket change and you are STILL getting low compression, then this suggests that the problem lies with the cylinder head itself- it may be cracked. Unfortunately there's no effective repair for this, the only solution is to get a new cylinder head I'm afraid.

Perform a cylinder leakage test to confirm it. You will probably need to take it to a shop for this, but unfortunately, there usually are no quick fixes for low compression.
