Can old hypertrophic scars still be treated with laser or just the young ones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lasers and scars: It is possible to treat some minor scars with laser, and some of us in Dermatology have chosen otherr methods such as partial laser ablation. But the first thing, discuss treatment with your dermatologist and get his or her opinion in case there is a treatment available.
