I had CO2 laser to treat xanthalasmas under both eyes approx. 3 1/2 mos ago. There were large spots which needed deeper laser but I now have large scars. I message them but am worried massage will stretch my skin even more. I have used a silicone gel sheet but not consistently. I have also applied vit E oil. Please let me know how to flatten these scars. Thanks.

I would use the Scar Therapy Mini Kit followed by Clear and Brilliant laser in the future to correct your scar. Deep lasers may make your condition worse. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
I would start with application of Plato's Scar Serum and Plato's Dark Scar Corrector, followed by subcision, fillers, and PRP to help your scar. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
This requires an in-person evaluation. This may be improved with a revision, lasers, and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
