A member asked:
I have hypertrophic scarring from laser tattoo removal ~5 years old. resurfaced w/ 4 fraxel tx. will this type of scar continue to flatten over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most scars do tend: to flatten over time. If your specialist has recommended any further treatment, such as scar tissue massage, it's important that you do it. Scar tissue will continue to change for up to one year, so be patient and stick with the program. Dr. Anne
