Hello, I am a 46-year-old man. Over the years, I have tried to treat my acne scars with fractional CO2 laser (I’ve had 5 sessions) but with little success. The most noticeable scar I have is the one shown in the photo: it’s thin, long, and deep, and it seems completely unresponsive to the treatments. Could you tell me what type of scar it is and how I could best treat it?
