V-beam for indented scar?

March 19, 2015
Asked By:scarquestions in Beverly Hills, CA

I'm going to have fractional laser for a slightly indented and textured scar but doctor also wanna do v beam laser because he can see some pinkness by his goggle. I know v beam is good for red and raised scar but im wondering if it's proper for a indented scar. Doctor thinks reduce some redness will give it overall better result combine with fractional laser but I'm worried v beam will make indented scar more indented. So is the risk overriding the benefits since my redness is not bad anyway?
