Asked By:Exoticmix in Little York, IN

Hello, I have a young burn scar (boiling cup of tea poured on my tight 3 months ago). The scar is fully healed and the skin very supple. But there is a mix of hypo and hyper pigmentation. Will it fade over time ? Would you recommend dermaroller/ skin needling to even it out ? If yes, what needle lenght and how early can i start ? Many thanks The skin texture is great. I am obviously just bothered with uneven pigmentation
