I had 4 sessions of Erbium laser for the fine wrinkles of the upper lip. The 4th one, was very painful and took 6 weeks to heal,and I ended up with a very ugly hypertrophic scar. There is any chance that in time the scar to vanish? Or any other remedies? I use silicone ointment and I massage the scars all the time. Thank you!
