What Procedure Will Correct What Matrix Rf Has Done to my Skin?
I have had 5 sessions of matrix rf and it made my skin plump but 3 months after my 5th session my skin sunk in and now the ice pick scars, rolling scars, box scars are now deeper. What procedure will fix this? I have medium asian skin and I need help in correcting this. I need a doctor near the bay area CA to help me. I had a few consultations, but I feel they just want my money and just offer me another set of laser procedures. Help please.

Acne scarring in ethnic skin
Acne scarring in ethnic skin is one of the most challenging condition to treat as aggressive ablative laser resurfacing can lead to post-treatment pigmentation. A combination of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing followed by series of Nd:Yag based laser therapy to stimulate collagen and minimize pigmentation can be helpful under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist familiar with ethnic skin.
