Is it possible to Co2 laser on only part of your face?

Asked By:Anonymous1429062 in Downingtown, PA

I've had a couple of dermatologist recommend CO2 laser for the pitted scars on my face (ice pick, box car, and rolling), but I'm terrified of the reviews that I've read. Is it possible to do CO2 laser on only part of the face, for example the cheeks (this is where my worst pitted scarring is) or would that make things altogether uneven?
