Scar Revision for Atrophic Scar: Where to Start? (photo)

May 8, 2013
Asked By:battlescarred in Halifax, Canada

In trying to treat acne scarring, I was left with the scar you see in the photos after dermabrasion. I'm wondering what can be done to improve it, and what order I should do it in? For example, I'd like to improve the redness but see no point in improving the redness only to have an ablative laser over the area which would redden it for months. I'm open to multiple steps. Unfortunate placement under my cheekbone makes it even more noticeable, I think. What could work? What would be a waste? Thanks
