Hi Tiffany, What type of laser treatment, and at what level settings were you treated? At this point, follow your physicians instructions or get a second opinion. Let the wound heal, and then re-evaluate what your best course will be. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Indeed a patient can learn a lot for a physician's second opinion.

Try the newly approved Laviv by Fibrocell Science. It is using your own cells to repair skin. Take a look at their website, it has some great before and after pictures. My sister had terrible scars from laser it and it does work. It basically repairs the skin by injecting fibroblasts into the scar tissue. It's not cheap, but works much better than the temporary fillers that she also tried. I am going to have it done soon, for large pores and wrinkles.
