Asked By:beachygirly0 in Atlanta, GA

I had DOT laser done to treat a scaring from cyst acne that was cut and extracted 8 months ago. The doctor PRP to try fix the depressed dent mid March. I had more scaring from the PRP procedure and stitches to close cut. Now they did a DOT CO2 laser 6 weeks ago. I am seeing the square patch after CO2 Laser Treatment. Doctor suggested VBeam laser but I am scared to do any type of laser on my skin. I am Asian brown skin and scar very easily. Now using hydroquinone 4% bleach cream twice daily .
