I am a 30 year old male with olive skin. I was in a car accident 4 weeks ago and have been left with a deep one inch scar that required 3 inner stiches and 6 outer. Its in a very prominent place on my forehead (right above the eyebrows) and its not looking great as its healing.
I was wondering if I should pursue Fraxel repair (or Fraxel restore) now, or whether I should wait until its healed. This is very important to me, please help. Thanks.
I think you would see excellent results from either the Fraxel restore or Repair. If you are olive skinned, my inclination is to recomment the Fraxel restore as I feel it would have less of a chance of causing hyperpigmentation after (although the risk is small with both). Sometimes I also use the pulsed dye laser in the same session as the Fraxel to further enhance scar improvement.
