I've had laser surgery done last year to get rid of the dark scars on my legs. What I got from the surgery was even larger and darkers spots that don't seem to go away. I had stopped taking acutane a couple months before that. Don't know if that had caused the problem. Anybody has been through the same situation or know of any reputable dermatologist who could help me?

The laser can be precisely controlled to specifically target areas. If you’ve taken accutane in the last 12-18 months or are prone to abnormal scarring in the treatment area, we don’t recommend the laser treatment.

Dr. Alder has practices on the east and west coast-you might want to discuss your case with your surgeon who should have told you about accutane and lasers.

i have never had surgery but the sergan should have told you if that were going to be there before you got it done you should go back and tell them about it
