What are my options to get my superficial scar to completely faded? Is my skin tone ok for lasers?

SkyenovaApr 9, 2020
I am looking to fade this stubborn scar on my forehead completely. I've been applying mederma PM and vitamin C oil on it everyday to help maximize results. I have medium skin tone. I've had esthetician's tell me that the Q-switch laser the best option. I burn on my face but at the same time I tan easily. Am I fit for the Q-switch laser? Will the Q-switch fade my scar completely? Please help. I really appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you
