Multiple raised hypertrophic nose scar lesions? Are ablative lasers (CO2/Erbium) my only option? East Asian skin type (Photo)

Asked By:IHateAcneAndBadGenetics in Adelaide, AU

I have had these scars since 2014, which came from severe cystic acne. I no longer get acne on my nose so I want to get rid of the scars. What would be the best option for this? How many treatments? Do I need to combine ablative laser with something else? From my research only ablative lasers can improve these annoying lesions. Given your experience, how much of an improvement after ablative (% wise) can I achieve? I'm asian. Also, what is my skin type? I'm guessing Fitzpatrick III or IV?
