Answer: Laser treatment can be done to even out skin texture 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.

Answer: Scars on Face -- Vascular Lasers / Fractional Laser / Microneedling Generally speaking, scars can be improved with a combination of surgery and/or lasers and microneedling with PRP. Below is a more detailed reference list of the treatments available. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert to determine which is best for your specific case. 1. Vascular lasers (BBL, Yellow laser, V-Beam, Excel V) 2. Fractional lasers (Fraxel, Erbium, CO2, Halo) 3. Microneedling/PRP 4. Silicone-based scar gels with growth factors 5. Excision / revision surgery See an expert to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Scar treatment Thank you for your question and photograph. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum, but from what I can see, it looks like you have atrophic scarring (indentation). Treatment modalities that injure the skin causing subsequent collagen formation works best, such as laser therapy, microneedling, injections with fillers, etc. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your scar evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
