Deep scar laser treatment recommendations?

can anybody recommend a laser to treat deep scar? i had a inner/medial thigh lift in january 2008. of course it left me with a not so nice scar. one area actually got infected for some odd reason and i had to use dakins solution to get the skin to re grow. so that area is a deep color and bigger.

A: A laser may not be the answer

It sounds as though you may be in need of a scar revision surgery, possibly dermabrasion, or maybe even a laser treatment in combination. I would suggest consulting a plastic surgeon in your area. They would have a large arsenal of tools to help fix your problem.

i will most definitely ask tomorrow. the doc i go to demo's a load of lasers. i am surprised to hear of this one. i used to work with him and was on the up and up with all the "new" lasers. but, like electronics, it changes every week with something newer and better. so, im sure he knows of it. he goes to all the major laser and derm conventions. he as well as you i'm sure, have seen a lot of bologna laser machines. i cant wait til tomorrow. but, then again not really. my inner thighs feel like a sunburn from hell afterwords. you think your fine. but wait an hour or so and try walking. youch!
