I'm 34yo. My large pores & atrophic scars bother me. Areas circled in white are texture issues & areas in pink/red are discoloration. I believe the discoloration is mainly freckles/sunspots (areas that have developed in the past few years), but the area near my nostrils is always pink/looks irritated. Any recommendations for my concerns? I've tried things such as hydrafacial, microdermabrasion, medium depth chemical peels, biorepeel, & pico genesis & IPL laser treatments in the past

Answer: A combination of TCA cross and LaseMD can help minimize appearance of large pores. Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. 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 discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Answer: Skin care for large pores, pink, red and brown discoloration, acne scars..... Thank you for your question. You, like most people have a variety of skin concerns. The pink and red issues are due to dilated blood vessels. These as well as the brown discoloration are best treated with IPL treatments. Usually the browncan be removed in 2-3 treatments. The red typically requires a couple more than that. The brown is usually due to sun exposure. So, to keep it away, the most important thing is home skin care and sun protection. As far as the depressed scars, the best thing for that is filler. There is only one FDA approved filler for acne scars. That is Bellafill. It works beautifully. Good Luck
