I’m very self conscious about the scarring on my forehead. I’ve had a brow lift which did not seem to help like the doctor thought it would — for smoothing the scarring on my forehead. I’ve done the CO2 laser at least 4-6 times. I’ve done a few rounds of 1540 and Morpheus.

How can I smooth that one and hopefully the others?
