Laser treatments vary depending on the operator and the settigs used for the treatment. Therefore, your treatment results may be better with another Erbium treatment. Fractionaly CO2 laser resurfacing is a great option for someone who has not been happy with previous laser results. It allows for resurfacing as well as skin tightening.

I suggest at least 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for Fractional erbium laser for scar treatments!

	It takes at least 6 months after the last treatment to see the final results!

	Good luck!
