I have white scars all over my arms from scratching. Would the Pico laser work? (photo)

Question

I went through 2 years of uncontrollable itching with no visible rash on my arms. I appear to have the condition under control. I'm 61, my skin is thin, bruises easily and tears if I bump into anything. I'm interested in the scar removal with the Pico Laser.

the picosure laser is great but only for the correct indications which are tattoo removal, melasma treatment and hyper-pigmentation and acne scar. also fine lines and wrinkles in the face (which is also helped by microneedling).david berman md

No Pico will not work for hypo pigmented or white scars. The reason being is that the 'target' is actually melanin or the pigment in your skin. See a dermatologist for the consideration of phototherapy coupled with microneedling and prostaglandin inhibitors. Re Cell can work in 30% of case. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.

those are very difficult to treat. It will take true determination to reduce the load of these scars. PICO is an excellent choice with selective skin care products maybe you can achieve partial reduction.
