I’m a 42 year old male, of Latin descent, with Fitzpatrick IV skin, seeking to reduce acne scars (mostly rolling acne scars). The scars that bother me the most are along my temples and my forehead, and again they’re mostly rolling scars. Any guidance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Deep acne scars need attention 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: Subcision Has A Nearly Thirty Year Proven Track Record For Treating Rolling/Boxcar Scars In All Skin Types The title of my answer says it all. I have personally been using subcision to treat boxcar and rolling acne scars since 1994. Unlike the expensive, "bells and whistles" fraxel lasers and RF devices that are so heavily promoted, relatively inexpensive subcision has stood the test of time for both efficacy and safety for elevating and smoothing rolling and boxcar acne scars in all skin types. What's more when performed by experienced physicians using local anesthesia is painless and engenders little to no significant post-treatment downtime. Just make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
