Erbium laser or ultrapulse CO2 for indented scars?

May 16, 2023

Hello In the case of slightly indented scarring or atrophic scarring, in expert hands which laser technology is better to smooth out/ blend in a scar which is slightly atrophic? Ultrapulse co2 or erbium? There is so much conflicting scientific information and it seems some experts prefer co2 while others prefer erbium. I am specifically concerned with treatment of a slightly indented scar (not acne!)
