The scar should not affect the laser therapy at all. It looks pretty thin, so no worries about that.
The best way to prevent scarring would definitely be Mederma. I had stiches on my cheek and was terrified of scarring, but used Mederma on it and you can’t even tell I had a mark there at all. It’s an 8 week treatment. Just put it on 3-4 times a day and it visibly reduces scars like crazy, even existing ones. It’s a bit pricely, but if you’re looking to save, coupons are sometimes offered if you googe for them.
Good luck!
Vitamin E, you can buy the little gel pills at most grocery, drug or vitamin stores. Just poke a hole in the gel pill and put a little of the liquid that comes out on the area a couple of times a day. I was in a car accident years ago and was told I would need plastic surgery. Never had to have it, all I used was vitamin E.
Well i fell down 16 concrete stairs when i was 7 and i well… Lets say you were able to see my nose bone i split my face open from my forehead all the way to my lip…And i dont have any scaring…
What my doctor told me to do is put Neosporin on it and Vitamin E oil everyday…and everynight with a warm wet washcloth take the scab off (if there is a scab..)
and do that until there is no more mark..
Hope it works for you and hope i helped
“Maderma”. It sold at any pharmacy.
