One of more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments with a fractional ablative laser or full field ablative laser would likely help but not completely erase the scars. The disadvantage is recovery time, the advantage is the change would be long-lasting or permanent. Filler with or without subcision (cutting under the scar with the tip of a needle to release the scar from adherence to the underlying surface) is usually a good place to start. Filler needs to be repeated as it is absorbable but some of the correction remains as the scar can't heal back down to the deep layers dues to the interposing filler.
I have rosacea for few years but controlled with ipl and some topical creams. Now i started having tired skin with wrinkles around eyes. Btw i did eyebag surgery from inside three years back that also resulted loose skin. I'm seriously thinking of doing fraxel restore will it be appropriate for my kind of skin???
While ablative laser peels sometimes promote redness in the skin, nonablative laser treatments tend to blunt it. Fraxel ReStore is a nonablative (does not vaporize or leave a raw surface) fractional laser that gives a no down-time treatment for light to moderate wrinkles. At the same time, pigment and redness from things like broken blood vessels and rosacea will tend to decrease. If the main goal is reducing pigment or redness, IPL is quicker but the overall effect of Fraxel is to address, to some degree, all of these aging changes.
Some doctors on realself said that fraxel could help with sculptra bumps, noduels and hardening tissue, is it possible that it could help as well to reduce unwanted volume? What kind of settings (energy & level) need to be applied in order to hit the sculptra scar tissue and achieve a reduction? Please le me know because I am so unhappy and would give it a try, and would be thankful for even just a minimal reduction, but I do not know the settings in order to make it work?
Fraxel is a laser treatment that can extend very deeply into the skin. Lumps which result from Sculptra are usually subcutaneous -that is just beneath the skin. While theoretically Sculptra is injected into the deep dermis, the deepest layers of the skin, studies have shown that most filler injections end up under the skin. Typically injections with anti-inflammatory medications or surgical excisions are used but these lumps tend to be difficult to clear.
