How can I treat atrophy following Cortisone injections in my cheeks? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. 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 discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Subcision, which I have been performing since 1995 is a quick and inexpensive technique for elevating and smoothing all kinds of atrophic indentations in the skin. It works by stimulating new, native collagen and elastic fiber synthesis so the results of treatment are long-lasting to permanent. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive experience in performing subcision. Best of luck
