Treatment for old scar

2025-10-04 03:04:54
I have a 10-year-old scar from a blade cut on my forearm. The scar is fully healed but still visible — it appears slightly raised, light in color, photo enclosed. I’d like to explore options to reduce its appearance. Are there effective treatments for such old scars? Can topical treatments, laser therapy, or microneedling help at this stage? Kindly suggest.
