How Do I Get Rid of Demarcation Line and Soften Scar Aound Ear?

I had co2 about 12 years ago, a face lift about 10 years ago, 2 years ago-4 rounds of fraxel to delete hyperpigmentation that had shown up around my ears and bottom of jaw. Now I have more hyperpigmentation on my neck and the line of demarcation from co2 is more difinitive and my scar around my ear shows up more. I have an appointment to try the ultrlux light therapy next week to try to blend. I know that it now looks like i need another facelift,etc. but my goal is to be more one color!
