Dermabrasion Didn't Help my Ice Pick Scars

August 19, 2008
Asked By:Christina W in Milwaukee, WI

I had dermabrasion done at the beginning of this summer. My dermatologist said my scars were deep enough that the laser would not make enough of a difference. I am still healing (it's August), just redness. I still have my ice pick scars and am disappointed by this. The dermabrasion did improve my scars but not the deeper ones. I would like to try something else, laser.? Any advice?
