Should I Wait for Recent Scar to Heal Before Getting Fraxel Laser?

I am a 30 year old male with olive skin. I was in a car accident 4 weeks ago and have been left with a deep one inch scar that required 3 inner stiches and 6 outer. Its in a very prominent place on my forehead (right above the eyebrows) and its not looking great as its healing.I was wondering if I should pursue Fraxel repair (or Fraxel restore) now, or whether I should wait until its healed. This is very important to me, please help. Thanks.
