Can laser help reduce my lip blush removal scars? (Photos)

T
Tree12345678Jan 21, 2022

I made the mistake of getting a lip blush tattoo that I disliked. I then made the even bigger mistake of getting this removed using the saline solution method carried out by someone that had the proper qualifications. As a result my lips now seem to be scarred around the edge and I have small bumpy scars. I wondered if there was anything I could do to help this? Thank you in advance for any advise.
