    Default What type of scar revision treatment would these require?

    My arm is excessively scarred, and I'm not sure what treatment option would be best due to the varying nature of the scars. There's also not much for plastic surgery options in my area, so I don't want to make a huge trip and potentially pay a consultation fee just to have them say they don't offer what I need. If I could get an idea of what I'm looking for that would greatly help me narrow down options and make the travel more potentially fruitful. I've been considering this for 2 years, but feel just as clueless as I did at the beginning of my research. Any help much appreciated!

    I think fraxel laser resurfacing would be best. lots of places don't charge fees for consults. just call and tell them you have many hypertrophic scars covering your entire arm. you can also send pics to plastic surgeons too, tho you don't need to be a surgeon to do laser resurfacing.

    Will fraxel laser resurfacing reduce the raised aspect of the scars and the coloring?
