Can laser resurfacing remove superficial scarring? (Photo)

Asked By:glitchiban in Leavenworth, Washington

How effective is Laser Resurfacing at removing injured skin and which would be best for my oil burn injury ? I’m considering Contour TRL, my understanding is it can remove up to 1 mm of surface skin so will the new skin heal back uniform and normally?
