Laser scar reduction worsened scars. What should I do? (Photos)

November 26, 2017
Asked By:meyer2008 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm nearly 3 weeks Post OP on three hypertrophic (already flat) scars that I wanted to improve the appearance of. My cosmetic dermatologist used the following lasers: 1. Pico, 2. V-beam, 3. 1540 Non-ablative Fractional ICON XD. The scars all look the same except they are darker and much more noticeable than they were before. In sum, all three scars look worse. I regret spending the money. Can Bleaching creams reverse this? Here is one scar before and after.
