can face scars be removed - #17525

Karthik

I am really worried about some face scars that I got from a bad accident. A few months ago, I had this terrible fall while biking, and I landed right on my face. At first, I thought I would just heal fine, but now I’m left with these pretty noticeable scars on my cheek and forehead. People always stare, and honestly, it's messing with my head. I’ve been looking into treatments because I've heard things like laser therapy or surgeries can help, but I keep searching, can face scars be removed? I mean, I really want my skin back to how it used to be, but I don’t even know where to start. The doctors I saw talked about creams but they don’t really seem to work for me. They also mentioned the scars could fade with time, but weeks are turning into months and I don’t see any improvement. I also saw some online buzz about chemical peels – are those effective? Like, can face scars be removed with those or are they just a waste of time? I'm kinda lost here. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice would be great, thanks!
