Hello dear doctors. I have on my forehead, two white surgical scars of a couple of centimetres... They are thin and flat, after a revision and seven fraxel sessions, but they are white; my skin type is of a typical southern European. I'd like to know if there a solution for this problem. Thank you in advance for your time, your answers are always very useful for all of us patients!
