Hi. I had an IPL done on my face and had blistering occur. It was two months ago now and this is the scar I'm left with! Aside from the obvious discoloration, it is also indented. I feel very upset because it's very noticeable:(. What laser treatment might help with this PLEASE? I'm so worried that nothing can be one...

Answer: Consider Subcision For Elevating The Indented Scar; Manual Microneedling For Improving Its Color/Texture What amazes me is that after having this unforunately happen to you after a light-based treatment that you would think to have other light or energy-based treatment. You would be wise to consult with a very experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in performing subcisions. The use of subcision can help to .elevate and smooth the indentation. Once this is done, then professionally performed manual microneedling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF microneedling) can be used to better blend any superficial, surface irregularities in color and/or texture of the scar with the surrounding normal skin. Subcisions, which I have been routinely performing since 1995 and microneedling, which I have routinely been using for the past nearly quarter of a century have proven safe and effective in all skin types. And, finally, if you are offered some expensive bells and whistles fraxel laser or RF treatments, keep in mind that these treatments are supported far more by heavy marketing hype and social media buzz rather than hard science. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Answer: Options There are several options. Your scar may be, however, one that is best treated by surgical revision. Wait a bit longer then consider having the scar excised and revised.
