Question

I want to improve my skin texture,clear clogged pores and fade old acne scars away at home,in the safest way possible.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

An appropriate chemical peel may help start the process of treating uneven skin pigmentation.
For uneven skin pigmentation I also recommend a skin regimen prior to to prepare the skin for the peel. 
Melarase AM cream is great to reduce hyperpigmentation and to correct uneven skin pigmentation.
 I also recommend Pigmentation Correction Complex to reduce hyperpigmentation of the skin.
Also avoid sun exposure to prevent inflammation and skin burn injury for at least 4 weeks. Spectrase is highly effective.
