Thank you for your question! I suggest following up with your doctor or a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation and after care recommendations. I recommend medical-grade skincare with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone-based scar gels with growth factors, and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme to give improvement. Sun protection is essential. All skincare, along with free consults with a Skin Care Specialist can be found at Emeragecosmetics.comLasers like CO2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen.
