I was quite pleased with the improvement I saw 3/4 weeks after my treatment but now at nearly 7 weeks it seems my scars are returning . Will I have any further improvement from now on ?. Would it be possible to have a further laser treatment to get more improvement ?My doctor said before my treatment I could only have one but have read about people having 2 or 3 . Is there anything else I could try ?.

Answer: Erbium Resurfacing You can have more than 1 erbium laser. I usually recommend 2 - 3 in a row with 8-12 weeks in between each treatment. You can also continue to see improvement after each treatment for up to 3 months.

Answer: Results after resurfacing Everyone looks pretty good for the first couple of weeks after resurfacing because of the swelling. Once the swelling goes down you may notice the wrinkles and scars again. The laser helps the skin by causing deep heating which will cause the skin to produce new collagen. This process begins at about 4 weeks after the treatment and continues for at least 6 months. So you are in this phase of healing now. At 6 months you should look better than you do now. If at 6 months you still have some scars you can consider having a second treatment. If it was fully ablative I would wait a year. If it was fractional you could do again at 6 months.
