How likely is scarring if you pick your scabs after fractional laser treatment?

August 4, 2017
Asked By:scottanais in Glasgow, GB

I'm on day 3 of recovery from fractional laser treatment and I believe my face has taken the correct healing route. However, a small section of scabs was especially sore and therefore caused me to pick the scabs, I'm wondering what is the likelihood this will scar? The section is slightly pink. I understand this is extremely early days in the process and I still have months of healing.
