Valley white scar best treatment?

Question

I had a lip lift 3 years ago, right after valley white scar formed, it is also pink without makeup. I’ve tried CO2 3 times and microneedling twice, I do not see any improvements. What else I shall try? Revision surgery is drastic and no guarantee it will be any better. What type of laser is best? If I cannot get rid of valley, at least I need to address the color of scar to Match my skin. Thank you

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.
