The "choking" sensattion is reducing and feels more like tightness now. It's hard to say whether this is simply due to the passage of time, or the laser itself.
The scarring is definitely less noticable and less raised.
Yes, Cheryl, the idea is to punch microscopic holes in the scar tissue to break it down and let new, healthy, "non-trauma" collagen form.
I am having the double laser in mid June, so I will post a follow up then.
