Can IPL laser flatten scar tissue?

February 12, 2015
Asked By:pinky50 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

I have two very small pimple like scars on my chin that are slightly raised. They came from cystic pimples. They are very soft. Apparantly they are too small for injections of cortisone and dermatologist said dermabrasion or fraxel would be silly for such a small area. Is there anything else i could try to even out the texture?
