What type of laser would best help me get rid of the coloration in my scars?

Question

So far I've had two dermapen treatments why have failed in improving the discoloration within my scars so I plan on getting a laser afterward. Ignoring the fact that some of these are indentations and if my primary goal is to achieve even skin tone. What laser would be deemed best for me? My doctor suggested V-beam or E-matrix but I would like a second opinion. On a side note, if I also plan on getting chemical peels which one would be safest for my skintone TCA, Glycolic, Salicilyc or Vi Peels.

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam Perfecta, and Nanofractional RF are then used to reduce the blood vessels and telangiectasia within the skin. Patients benefit from post-treatment application of Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides.

Hyperpigmented scars can be improved with a combination of lasers (Fraxel, Tattoo), Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
