scarsscars 0 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi guys today I went to my dermatologist. He checked my skin and told me that my scars weren't severe and I should use topicals and the most he can do is a sitting or co2 laser. I don't know why my scars weren't severe to him but to me my skin sucks. I showed him two ice picks on my jawline and he said that I can do tca cross right now. He used 25% tca on the scars which burned a little and later swelled but not noticeable. I just hope they just improve. Now what I want to know is how effective is laser on brown skin. He said it doesn't have any side effects because either it improves skin or doesn't improve there are no side effects. I asked him about hyperpigmentation he said there are ways to treat hyperpigmentation. He said that the downtime is 5-7 days during which my skin will turn red and eventually will flake. The price he quote is good for me like $170. Should I consider laser for the first time. And yes he suggested CO2 Super Impulse. Anyone had any improvement? Thanks.
