I laser on the tip of my nose to remove a dark spot on my nose, however the laser treatment left a deep scar on my nose. I tried the CO2 treatment on my nose twice and the scar didn't change. What are some other options that I have to make it disappear?

Answer: How to fix this scar? Tried CO2 with no change. Hello b_m79,Your scar looks to be a divot. Given the location it catches the light and becomes quite noticeable on the tip of your nose. Whatever treatment you do it needs to involve either removing the divot or trying to raise the divot. Cutting out the old scar may be the most effective. This will replace the divot with a line and depending on how you heal, it can look great or still be noticeable. You can try to raise the tissue up with subcision (essentially using a needle below the scar to try to free it up) and then inject filler below the scar to keep it elevated. This may be permanent but sometimes as the filler dissolves the area falls back down and there is no long term change. The use of lasers can help once it has been raised up. However, I would not recommend you use any lasers at this point as they are more for camouflaging the scar and won't do much to raise up that area. I'd recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon to go over the various options and see which one is best for you.I hope this helps and good luck.
