I have two very old scars on my face 1, that required stitches. i am wondering if either of these can be minimized through a lazer procedure?

FPS: You may want to seek the advice of a facial plastic surgeon. Depending on where the scar is and what it looks like, there are a number of options for treating them: laser, dermabrasion, scar revision, etc. The primary goals are to minimize the visibility of a scar by hiding it, changing the shape of it, or changing the color.
