You need a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in acne scarring/pigmentation and does a combination of treatments including: surgery, subcision, or TCA cross for deep or pitted "ice pick" scars; fillers like Bellafill or Sculptra or Radiesse for broad "boxcar" or "rolling" scars; Eclipse Micropen for all types of scars and improvement in texture and tone; lasers such as co2 laser resurfacing or Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant or radiofrequency such as Venus Viva (I used to Elos Ematrix and have switched to this for darker skin due to better results and less risk of complications) to improve the scars and give long term collagen production. There are many options but you want someone who can customize a regimen for your short and long term goals based on your individual situation. Best, Dr. Emer.

RF or Radiofrequency is colour blind- this means it is relatively safe on all skin types. eMatrix is great for early scars, such as pox and acne scars. The flip side is that there are other treatments such as dermal fillers that are better than eMatrix, and give instant results.All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologist

Ematrix is a fabulous laser for acne scars. You need to be off Accutane for at least six months before you have the procedure. Best, Dr. Green
EMatrix is RF or radio frequency that heats your dermal layer for a fraction of a second. This stimulates collagen and clinically reduces wrinkles, fine lines and acne scarring. In fact the level of collagen stimulation is so superficial that is is shown to be safe in conjunction with fillers-...
