PDL treatment with V beam perfecta; 7mm spot; 9.5 J/cm2; 0.45ms; DCD 30:20 and 10 J/cm2 and 1.5 ms. Some areas scabbed and I used vaseline and hydrocortisone %1 scabs came off and deep atrophic scars revealed.Also I lost some facial structure on left side; my under eye area looks very flat compared to right side. would atrophic scars improve on their own over time and whether the collagen loss between my lower eyelids and cheekbone would resolve with time? Possible Hyperpigmentation issue too.
