What treats scar lines, age spots, broken capillaries & about 8 pore/cyst opening/ tiny, empty pore of winter? (Photos)

Question

What is the most inexpensive and immediate treatment for spot treating large pores like fistula, broken capillaries, and age spots, and a couple scars that are about a centimeter and half a centimeter long?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.  
Best,

This is a difficult question to answer since you have several different problems, some of which will take time to respond to treatment, especially the scars. It is also likely that you will need different treatments to treat some of the different problems listed, and possibly it could take more than one treatment for best results. I would suggest that you seek consultation from an experienced cosmetic physician who can assess your problems and advise you on the best treatment options that are available. Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd
