Forehead scars can be improved with surgical scar revision procedures

I would recommend scar excision and layered closure to improve the scar on your central forehead.

Treatment of traumatic scarring

There are many different kinds of scars- some elevated and thickened, some depressed, some are firm while others are soft, etc. At times a combined approach involving surgery, lasers, and injectables is required to provide best outcomes. Without actually examining you it is difficult to say which approach or combination would be best, but if you goal is for improvement as opposed to perfection, it seems that there should be some good options for you.

Deep Fractionated for Scar Revision

Hi Saniya. There is no simple way to improve a scar like yours, but if you have tried traditional Erbium resurfacing, we would give fractional laser resurfacing a chance. Deep fractional resurfacing has the potential to improve a scar like yours, but go into the procedure with realistic expectations of improvement. Good luck.
