Will Halo smooth out my scar or expose it even further?

Question

In 2019, I received my first CO2 laser on my cheeks. The CO2 exposed a surgery site from a tumor removal when I was 3 years of age. Will the Halo smooth out the scar or expose it even further? I have done 3 PRX-T33 treatments to boast the collagen but no luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you will need a combination of treatments including starting peels now and then other stronger lasers. you likely will not get full cure.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
