Should I get this belly button scar surgically excised or lasered? (Photo)

Asked By:Bright834458 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have a small and flat keloid type scar post belly button revision. I have the option to get it removed with 3 rounds of SRT or I could get some type of laser done on it. Which do you recommend? I really like the shape of belly button, I just want the dark scarring to be gone. Extra details: revision was done 4/2023.
