What is best cream for acne scars and dark spots?

Question

What’s the best cream for clearing acne scars? I am using Ambi skin fade cream and Retin A micro for night time cream for Acne and my Ance scars.

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.

Thank you for your question. Treatment options vary depending on the type of scarring you have and options are different for dark spots or hyperpigmentation. There are more aggressive treatment options available, so I highly recommend you consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your skin evaluated and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.
