These scars are 25 days old. I had wounds on either side of my mouth but due to the tension on this area while eating and smiling they did not heal properly, resulting in these scars. Will they ever go away? I did not have them before.

Answer: CO2 Laser Resurfacing Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. At 25 days post-injury, it's understandable to be concerned about the scars on either side of your mouth, especially if they haven't healed as expected due to the tension from movement. While scars can take time to mature and improve in appearance, CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly effective option to consider for reducing their visibility. This treatment works by using a focused laser to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting collagen production and helping to smooth out the texture of the scars. Over time, CO2 laser resurfacing can significantly improve the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable. I hope this helps and best of luck!
