Are these hypertrophic scars?

Hi, I've had these for as long as I can remember, at least 5 years. As you can see in the pics, they tend to show more when smiling. I'm not sure if it is worth going to see a derm about it, or if there are topical treatments I can do.

 

Less visible when neutral faced. They're a bit red here from lasering I had done.

A lot more visible here.

There's probably nothing topical that will help, but if it bugs you, it's worth a trip to see a scar specialist. Stuff can be done for hypertrophic scars and it might bug you less.
