Is it safe to get Aerolase Neo laser on a scar? Would it help or hurt the scar? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I get treatments for Rosacea using the Aerolase Neo laser and they work great. A few months ago, my cat scratched my face pretty badly and I’m wondering if it’s safe to get my Neo laser treatment and whether it would help or hurt the scar?

The Aerolase Neo would be a great option for hypertrophic scar treatment, especially scars with increased pigment (red in this photo). The Aerolase Neo is approved for treatment on all skin types and for scars such as the one noted in your photo, a series of treatments would be necessary.
