I am looking for a cosmetic procedure that will improve the texture and indented scarring on my cheeks. When wearing makeup it is very noticeable (see pictures). I am considering microneedling, laser treatment, or a chemical peel but I am not sure which would be best. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Answer: Microneedling and acne scars Hi Emskieskimo, There are several treatments available.I would recommend doing a series of microneedling with PRP treatments, scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. Microneedling will help smooth out the scars, improve the texture and overall appearance of the skin. Hope this helps,

Answer: Indented scarring Thank you for your photo. Your scarring is similar to that of chronic acne scars. There is no one best technology, but the best treatment plan uses a combination of all the things you mentioned. Both Microneedling and fractionated laser or radiofrequency treatments make microscopic holes directly into the scars to stimulate your body to remodel and fill in these areas with new collagen. Chemical peels help boost and even out the thickness of the underlying dermis and aggressively exfoliate your skin for a more blended surface. For the best treatment plan that fits your skin type, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery
