Asked By:PeterLan in Melbourne

I’ve had this scar since I was 8 years old and am now 30. I’ve hidden it with my hair and it’s caused me anxiety my whole life. I’m finally ready to do something about it. I’ve had 3 fraxel laser treatments and it hasn’t improved at all. What would you recommend? I’m looking into scar revision. What kind of improvement is possible?
