What treatment plan will be the most effective for those 2 atrophic scars? (Photo)

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.

At least from the pictures, Subcision, properly performed by an expert, would be an appropriate treatment for elevating and smoothing the indented scars. Once this is done, which typically takes on average three to four treatment sessions to achieve optimal improvement, then professionally performed, manual microneedling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF microneedlng) can be used to better blend in both color and texture the superficial skin of the treated area with the surrounding normal skin. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
