Laser or Dermabrasion for indented scars on forehead? (Photo)

JamesPatterson
I have quite a few indented scars on my forehead, just recently I decided to have dermabrasion done to try to smooth them out. The surgeon reassured me that he was good with dermabrasion and that he thought it would help to improve my scars. Looking at them a week later I'm afraid it has made them worst, I don't know if he didn't go deep enough in some places or he messed up but some of them look worst than before. Would lasers like fraxel been a better option for my scaring?
