The best place to begin is a consultation with an experienced aesthetician who can evaluate your skin and recommend a complete program to address your concerns and maintain your results.  There are many options that can be considered including chemical peels, laser treatments, Morpheus8, and SkinPen.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi! one of the best treatments for enhancing skin texture is to do a chemical peel, such as a VI peel. The peel goes through 6 layers of the skin and as it peels off, leaves you with a smoother and more even skin tone. The down time is about 7 days, although most of your peeling occurs on day 3-5. Another option is a vampire facial, which uses PRP and microneedling to help resurface the skin by creating microtrauma to the skin, thus reproducing collagen and enhancing skin texture. This treatment requires numbing cream, but both are painless and great options!

Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented  scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve  the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture.  Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.
 
Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition.

Best,
