Asked By:Bob720 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

Unfortunately, I made a mistake and allowed a Dr to damage me There were several scar issues 1 was an indented scar I am going to get treated with filler and/ possibly subcision/ prp with a different Dr of course -Unfortunately Dr Carniol co2 lasered something we never discussed instead of what we did ( ie the reddish area below that ) and made a barely visible scar into a very visible hypopigmented area Is there anything I can do to fix what he did to me ? No co2 lasers please
