Hi All! I had laser surgery done on my face and it was somewhat sucessful, my face is a little bit red still but worse of all, it has scarred my face in various places. I thought doing the lasrer was suppose to improve my face not worsen it! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of scars? I know that beauty inside is what counts, but this is really hard ot bear! If you have any remedy at all I am willing to try! Thank you!

have you tohught of dermabrasion?
It removes the top layer of the skin and then leaves you with new skin. It works really well with moderate scarring and leaves your skin scar free. It is outdated though another option is a chemical peel.
Ask your dermatologist or plastic surgeon about it. If you got scars from the laser treatment i wouldnt go back there again. Just check out those other options they should help you beautifully.

good luck
