Laser treatment to reduce scar redness? (Photo)

November 21, 2023
Asked By:Friendly687637 in Kowloon, Hong Kong

I have a scar from cosmetic mole removal (radio wave method) - the wound got infected after procedure and was this was treated with antibiotics,. The resulting scar has not faded well in the last 2.5 months. A dermatologist said this was a hypertrophic scar (even though it is not really raised) and recommended pulsed dye laser to reduce / eliminate redness. Am worried about making it worse - would you recommend this, or should I wait longer for it to fade with time using silicone scar gel?
