Can non ablative laser fix surface scars caused by ablative lasers?

September 3, 2024
Asked By:Versatile62162 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania

I had a laser procedure that caused surface scars everywhere. They are very shallow but making my skin uneven & textured. I had such smooth skin. I’ve been getting microneedling treatments, but my question is can a non ablative laser fix surface scars? Or do I need another ablative treatment done correctly to fix them? They are shallow marks & lines that weren’t on me before. Also how do I use this platform to find someone who specializes in this?
