Lasers for scar treatment, scar revision, and scar improvement
Lasers can improve redness and resurface uneven or shiny textural problems with scars. I use many different types of lasers in my practice to improve scars.

Surgical Scar Revision Will Be More Effective
Vertical forehead scars typically heal very well. As mentioned by Dr. Aldea, the paramedian forehead flap (a technique employed frequently in my practice for complex nasal defects) requires a vertical forehead incision and heals very well in a predictable fashion. I would expect that a revision procedure by an experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon would provide a much better result than any laser.

The Chinese Plastic surgeons I have met have been outstanding. I therefore feel awkward commenting...
