Recently studies have come out regarding the use of fractional lasers to ablate and decrease the appearance of scars and stretch marks. The technology allows a fraction of the scar to be removed at the time of treatment and then the heat created from the laser will stimulate collagen rejuvenation. Early results are very encouraging.
I'm a 20 year old female and a couple of years ago damaged by left thigh by using a razor. There are approximately 10 thin scars scattered across my upper left thigh. You can really notice them under certain lighting which is effecting my self esteem. I have had two consultations one for Fraxel treatment and the other for Profractional treatment.
I'm very confused and wondering which would be most appropriate. I have read about Profractional and now worry that maybe this treatment might be to strong for these scars.
I have recently looked into the use of the Sciton ProFractional Laser to treat scars and stretch marks. Although there is not yet great literature proving the efficacy of the ProFractional Laser in the treatment of scars there is a lot of buzz from colleagues that are using this platform. The advantage of the ProFractional laser is that it allows for more control depending on the pathology. For example the doctor can decide how deep into the dermis the laser ablates, how dense of pattern it covers and how much coag or heat is delivered. All are important variables. I would give the Sciton ProFractional another look because it allows for more control of your treatment.
I would like to get scar subcision done, but was wondering if I can get it about a month after a Restylane injection? Would the filler make subcision less effective? What would happen if I did so?
I know that fillers after subcision is a good idea, but what if it is reversed? I got Restylane injected into my scars a week ago and I want to get subcision done in a month.
Is it possibile to get subcision done after a filler? Or should I wait 6 months or so for the Restylane to subside before I go on with subcision?
Subcision is likely to remove a portion of the Restylane during the procedure and is probably best to get the subcision first, then the Restylane.
