Hairline lowering scar 10 months later, scar is still very noticeable. Options? (photos)

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.

Thank you for your question. Although the scar is still undergoing maturation, I would recommend treatment either via injections, or laser to start. If this is not successful, revision surgery could be considered. All the best.

This can happen. While unfortunate, it can be helped. I would have you come in for hair grafts. We do many women's hairlines.
We would move the scar backwards that way.
