Severe Scarring After SmartXide Laser

I had SmartXide Laser on my face, neck, and chest, and I now have severe scarring. The doctor says it will "correct with time". The doctor also gave collagen-forming topical and oral medications. Will these scars ever get better? Are there any treatments for correcting these scars?

3 years later and NO it is not better. My scars were made the second the doctor touched the laser to my skin. I thank God that it didn't kill me. Also the dr that did this doesn't have malpractice insurance. I go to trial March 2013 and am praying for a jury's compassion. Only 15% of medical malpractice trials win.
