I Am Trying to Improve the Appearance of a Vertical Forehead Atropic Scar? (photo)

I never got stitches and as a result I was left with a a deep atropic vertical forehead scar. I have been using Mederma advanced for about 4 months daily and it doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore. Is there another cheaper option. What kind of laser treatment or natural products can I use to regrow skin cells on the lower layers. I guess the cut went into the dermis layer and scar formed and now it is just a wide valley or depression. Please help because I am insecure about this.
