Asked By:drew.martin

I've had liquid silicone injection 5 years ago, now I want to get my acne scar treated(mild scaring). According to some post here YAG laser is safe for people with silicone injection but how about CO2 laser/Fraxel. or are these two procedure too much for my skin problem. many thanks.
