Answer: Leg insect bites can be dark and discolored. Melarase AM and Melarase PM I see these leg scars often and begin treatment with topical Luminase and Exfolase creams, followed by MelaPeel treatments to reduce the pigmentation. The process may take 3 to 6 months. Our office specializes in scar treatments in Los Angeles. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Answer: Treating old scars depends on the type of scar The best way to remove old scars depends on what the scar looks like. A red scar can be treated with a pulse dye laser. A brown scar can be treated with a Q-Switched Ruby or Alexandrite laser. A depressed scar can be treated with a variety of injection fillers or fat transfer and/or subcision. And, an elevated scar can be treated with injections of triamcinalone and/or 5% % Flurouracil.
