If the hole has closed, another option may be using TCA CROSS.  I like to use 100% TCA for these procedures.  Easy to do and can help in resurfacing the scar.  Best of luck!

Lasers won't improve the indented piercing scar. I would opt for a Hidef Scar Revision with layered closure instead. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

This can be improved with lasers, microneedling/prp and medical tattooing. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Benjamin C. Paul, MD · Answer

Pitting scars can be revised by removing the core of skin and bringing the edges together. Instead of using a small punch, in your case an fine tipped 11 blade can be used to do the most minimal amount of skin removal. A single stitch can close the pitting. This will improve your contour and aesthetic.
