Asked By:Sociable779670 in Sudbury, Massachusetts

I had a laser treatment for broken capillaries on the face. The technician burn the side of my nose before she turned down the setting. Will this be a permanent scar now that I am a few months out? I was told to just use Vaseline. I have a hard time believing I won’t be stuck with this scar permanently. Is there a better treatment?
