What defines a 'shallow' scar?

I'm trying to figure out how shallow my scars need to get before I do laser resurfacing. Ideally as close to the surface as possible, but it may not be that easy.

So what is a shallow scar? Is it a scar where you can clearly see the bottom of it from all angles? One that hardly casts a shadow? I've seen Dr. Lim resurface what he considersshallow scars that I didn't think they appeared all that shallow but supposedly they were ready for resurfacing.

You ideally want the scars to change shape from deep boxcar/icepick scars with well-defined borders (A) to more rounder and shallower rolling scars (C).image.png.dcc2167d42cb5dad378ef932ae80d36a.png
