Specialists that revise scars
Hi Sjohnson712,
We would recommend a board certified facial plastic surgeon, a board certified dermatologic surgeon and a practitioner (either type) that specializes in laser scar removal. You have several options regarding scar treatments and you may need several specialists to evaluate them all.
Evaluate the following for your scar. You may also need to combine some of these treatments for best results. Good luck.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser Resurfacing
Fractional Laser...
