Asked By:Al__ in Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile
I have an old hypertrophic scar (8-9 years) on my chin. I tried two sessions of fractional C02 but it didn't do anything. I know Steroid injections are the first option for hypertrophic scars , buy I'm scared of ending with a dent or getting hypopigmentation (or both). Are this side effects always so prevalent as the internet make it seems or it can be a safe method? What other options are for this type of scarring?
