Scars from Freezing of Age Spots? (Photo)

lexerella
6 weeks ago, I had my dermatologist freeze off some age spots on my hands. She mentioned that it could turn white in some spots, which I was ok with, but there are dark scars all over my hands that look a million times worse than the little age spots. Is this normal? Will it eventually fade? If not, is there anything I can do to make it look better? I'm kicking myself for doing this..I'm only 38. I should have just left it alone, but she swore this was the best way to do it.
