This appears to be a mature post-surgical scar, and since it has been present for many years, topical treatments or repeat surgery alone are unlikely to give significant improvement. Fractional CO₂ laser is one of the best options for such scars as it works by remodeling collagen and gradually improving texture, thickness, and visibility of the scar. Next Steps: • Start fractional CO₂ laser sessions (usually 3–6 sessions at 4–6 week intervals) • Combine with topical silicone gel/sheet for better results • Strict sun protection (SPF 50+) to prevent further pigmentation • Consider adjuncts like PRP or microneedling if advised by your dermatologist • Avoid opting for repeat surgery unless specifically indicated, as laser is less invasive and more predictable for cosmetic improvement Helpful Tips / Word of Caution: • Expect gradual improvement, not complete removal of the scar • Mild redness/peeling can occur after laser and usually settles in a few days • Consistency with sessions is key for best results Fractional CO₂ laser is currently the most effective and preferred option for improving old scars

Hi
Next Steps
• Laser treatments (like fractional CO₂ or erbium laser) are usually the best first step for old scars. They help in improving texture, color, and overall appearance gradually. • If the scar is raised or thick, we may combine this with steroid injections. • If it is depressed, treatments like microneedling or fillers can help. • Repeat scar revision surgery is not always the first choice, unless the scar is very wide or improperly healed—because surgery can sometimes create another scar.
Health Tips
For a more personalized plan, I’d recommend booking a consult so we can tailor the treatment exactly for your skin
