4 years post- op- What can be done to treat punctate hypo-pigmented scars from galvanic electrolysis over-treatment? (Photos)

Consider professionally performed microneedling. I have been performing this for well over two decades and its primary uses are precisely for improving superficial, surface skin texture and color issues. If there is insufficient color improvement, prescription pigment enhancing topicals, such tyrosine and lanatoprost, may be added to the treatment session. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

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.
