7 months post op CO2 laser, now have raised scars on my checks. Will these go away? Options? (photo)

Question

I had a co2 laser about 7 months ago, I now have raised lines on my cheeks, any idea if these will go away? Not sure what they are.

Timothy M. Greco, MD, FACS · Answer

This is either scarring or textural changes in the skin. I would recommend using topical steroids or topical silicone, or even intralesional steroid injections.
