What is the best type of laser to remove red/pink surgical scar 3 years old to fade to white?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yag cosmetic laser: Your a perfect candidate for laser treatment after being over one year out. The Yag or Genesis laser type platform is ideal in removing the redness out of skin in general, from scars, acne, rosaccea, poikiloderma, as well as to augment the dermal layer too. It may take more than one treatment, and make certain the physician working with you knows the right settings to avoid thermal injury.
