Whats procedure suitable for a depressed, gutter-like scar? (Photos)

Question

Its been 12 days i got into a car accident and it left me with these scars The one on top of the eyebrow is very depressed and surrounded by a fine gutter like scar. It doesnt look like the skin are coming together. The left side of it is flat but also has gutter. Not coming together as well. What procedure would help? Fillers, dermasion, fraxel or co2 laser resurfacing?

It appears that some of the scar, especially the one on your left, either wasn’t sutured or the sutures were removed too soon so it is a little wide. For now I would recommend leaving treatment in the area where the skin is completely covered, I think the Vbeam is a good treatment to reduce redness and overall hasten the healing. For the area where you have a depression you can have a person do a Vbeam treatment there, but you may need a scar revision in that area, which means excision and closure of the scar in a few months.
