August 20, 2014
Asked By:kate84 in England, AR

I was quite pleased with the improvement I saw 3/4 weeks after my treatment but now at nearly 7 weeks it seems my scars are returning . Will I have any further improvement from now on ?. Would it be possible to have a further laser treatment to get more improvement ?My doctor said before my treatment I could only have one but have read about people having 2 or 3 . Is there anything else I could try ?.
