Best treatment for inner thigh burn scars from laser.

September 11, 2017
Asked By:Masondash10 in Australia, AU

I was recently (nearly 3 months) burned badly over a large area on both inner thighs by Fractional laser - at the hands of a practitioner who didn't know what he was doing. I sustained full thickness burns. I know I need to wait 12 months for any substantial treatment but I am wondering what might be my best option to improve the scars in the mean time and thereafter. I suspect Fractional laser is the answer but I am understandably nervous about that option.
