@moorjan3 Yes, I did have two laser treatments performed in 2020 and perhaps the early part of 2021 but I don't recall if there was a particular name associated with them. They were done at my dermatologist's office. I do know that C02 fractional laser does help tremendously with scan improvement so I'm going to venture to guess this was the procedure I had. I believe all laser treatments carry some initial effects of potential reddness with a burning type sensation similar to what you'd feel with a sunburn this doesn't last long and the results were quite good in my case. Let me know how it goes for you. How many treatments are you anticipating?

@grammato3 Thank you. I am not sure yet of how many laser treatments. They are first waiting to see if the Kenalog gives me some relief from all the discomfort and tightness. Then we move on to the laser in August. How long after your surgery did you start the laser treatment if you recall?
Thank you.
