I had 2 CO2 laser with a very reputable european doctor, but after almost 9 months since my last CO2 laser

I can affirm I had no results.

 

what could i do? these are very shallow scars, it looks like dots.

I'm thinking about erbium laser resurfacing. Could it helps? which settings are suggested?

I'm also thinking about anterior chemabrasion

my goal is just melt borders of these scars.

thanks in advance

If they are tiny maybe phenol cross can help them to soften the edges.

They are very small, under 1 millimeter diameter, looks like enlarged scarredpores

He didn't recommend a subcision?

No because these scars are very shallow

Same here. I am not too unhappy with them except that they are discolored (which is my main complaint), stretch weirdly (like when I smile I might have some ptsd etc), look terrible in glare/lights, and there's a lot of them. But it's very shallow here too, pore-like (after dermabrasion). To be honest if you find anything to even dab them that's successful I'd be all ears but I haven't had any success. Only risks > rewards at this point. I'd be totally happy just to subcise and fill one spot but no doctor has accepted me yet except for one that offered to subcise with juvederm which is most people say not a great filler so I'm just looking around for more experts.
