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.

So is the risk overriding the benefits since my redness is not bad anyway?
