So Im trying to figure out what procedure I would need for my hypertrophic scar. Ive injured my nose in the same place for the past 2 years. I first injured it in June 2022 then I injured it again in August 2023. Theres still a small bump over my nose and its not completely flat. Also the discoloration is very apparent and doesnt look good as well as the texture. I just want to know if I should go the laser resurfacing route or the Laser scar removal route. Or maybe something else entirely.
I had a spine surgery 1.5yrs ago, and on January I decided to have laser treatment (i was not aware I should have done that after stitches came out).I had 2 sessions of Vbeam+fraxel and Im afraid Vbeam made my scars worse/more red!(my initial concern was redness rather than texture). Its been 2 months since my last session. Should I wait more?Is there a chance Vbeam can cause more permanent redness? What do you suggest I should do? (i attach photos pre/post laser treatments)
I had a melanoma in situ removed and have a 6 scar. The procedure was done one month ago. There are inner stitches that won't dissolve for 3-4 months. At what point can I have a procedure? Is laser the best option? If not, what options are better? TIA.
I had a laser mole removal done with an incompetent doctor. I said to flatten the mole so I could have even skin. The raised mole is still there but hes given me a cavity next to it for the last 8 months. I was told it would heal by secondary intention, although no success. I have since refunded my money. Is there a fox, and can the doctor be liable legally? I want to flatten the mole and raise the cavity. I need something will little downtime. Erbium laser?fractionated laser?Tca cross?
I had blepharoplasty a long time ago prob 6+ years now. I have a scar line that extends out to the outer end of my eye. I also am bothered about how my eyelids look when looking down, the scar is somewhat obvious and doesnt follow natural crease shape. I dont want to go through surgery again and potentially change my look. Am I able to fix this without surgery and just a laser treatment?
I have a scar on the bridge of my nose and its a red dot gotten worse over the years and never faded. I got it in 7th grade and now Im 20 so its a big insecurity. I have tried scar creams and gel patches but nothing works. Idk what it is and sometimes it will cut open and bleed.
I had a mole surgically removed on my cheek 5 months ago. The scar is now flat and linear, but has blood vessels all around that still make it look red. My surgeon suggested vascular laser treatment: should I wait the 1 year mark to see if it improves by itself? Also, summer is approaching and I know you're not supposed to have laser during the sunniest months. Thank you for your advice.
