Any advice on how I can improve this scar 3 years after tattoo removal?

Question

Hello I had a tattoo removed 3 years ago, since then I have had laser to improve my scar but I haven’t seen any difference, any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this is best treated with a scar revision and then laser treatment. although an alternative is to do fraxel or halo in a series of treatments with PRP. microneedling and microneedling RF will do very little.
there are many options for old scars:
1. vascular lasers (yellow laser, vbeam, excel v)
2. fractional lasers (fraxel, erbium, co2)
3. microneedling/PRP
4. silicone based scar gels with growth factors
5. excision +/- radiation
see an expert.
Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Mgt 1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, a combination of laser treatment, microneeling, prp provide good results. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
