Will the scar from Hyfrecator go away?

happyskin2013
I had a small brownish spot, less than the size of a pea, on my hand. My Beverly Hills Dermatologist told me I could have lasers used on it one or two times in order for it to go away and I happily agreed. The day I showed up for the lasers, an electric needle was used instead called a Hyfrecator. I did not know she was going to change methods. The light brown spot has been traded for a red shiny scar. It has been two months and I have been diligent about sun block. Will this go away?
