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.

Itt has been a very useful treatment for thick scars or to avoid them. It is also useful for post burn,post traumatic scars. It is common practice to combine them with other modalities like kenolog injection or compression. Hope that helps!
Silicone gel sheets are an effective treatment for scar management. The sheets are applied daily 6-8 hours a day for 2-3 months. This will prevent thick scar formation and the treatment can start as soon as 10 days post surgery.
