Is Dermal Filler the Solution for Sunken Scar Due to Mole Removal?

July 20, 2010
Asked By:Yaesa03 in Philippines

I had my mole removed last May 5, 2010. Since it's rounded and kinda big, it undergo dual process- shave Excision and Laser. The doctor advised mo to used Catrix Ointment because it will help to flatten the skin and gave me a scar gel removal. But It is July 20, 2010 and I had noticed that there's no improvement at all. Can you please suggest some procedure on how to remove the scar?
