Best way to treat hypopigmented scars created after laser mole removal? (Photo)

Question

I had some moles that were not flat and I didn't like them very much so I searched about some ways to remove them, found a clinic and remove them with laser around 10 years ago, but it didn't go well, there were white spots with a bit of volume in place of the moles, like these 3 in the image. Do you know some solution/approach that can help on this case? Thanks!!

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.
