Retin-A micro can it help with indented face scar? (Photo)

October 15, 2017
Asked By:Rlgra55 in Dallas, TX

I have a small indented scar on my face that is year and three months old. I was hit by some type of spider. Also, I'm almost 55 and concerned about aging skin. I did some laser treatments which helped some. Can retinA micro help or hurt? Some people say return A causes scarring? Nervous now after I got my prescription. Thanks for as my advice.

Is Retin-A effective if only used for an hour instead of overnight?
Fereydoon S. Mahjouri, MD says:

It is most effective when used at night. I would suggest starting out with using it twice a week. Once you feel like your skin can handle that, add another day. If your skin just can't seem to handle it, try an over the counter retinol product. Revision has a 0.5% Retinol that is wonderful. ...
