Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
Before you consider any treatment it is important to know if you are overweight/obese. You can have thicker skin which will appear as dark skin. In general, if your weight is not the problem, consider using mosturizer with lactic acid/urea on a daily basis for few months. The skin color will improve. If your work is in the outdoors, you should practice good suncare.
Neck hyperpigmentation generally is very deep pigmentation and usually does not respond to either peels or laser. I would discourage peels for this purpose as it not very likely to work and if not done correctly, can leave you with untoward side effects, scarring and uneven pigmentation.

You are better off getting only superficial peels. A medium or deep peel will be too risky for you. You can get very good results with superficial peels combined with regular skin care. Superficial peels inlcude glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, 10% TCA. Regards
The end goal—clear, beautiful skin—is the same no matter what peel you get. But a medical peel, like the ones we offer in my office, is much more powerful than anything you can get in a salon. The main reason: we use medical-grade skincare products that contain higher concentrations of act...

Trust your doctor. If they feel that 8 progressive glycolic acid peels are what you need, then that is probably a good estimate. You can always increase into the TCA peels later if needed.
Absolutely. Anything is possible. When people tell you that something is always safe, you should run in the opposite direction. It probably means that they have not had much experience. If you are being treated in a dermatologist or plastic surgeon's office chances are that you are in the safest...
