How Can I Help Reduce the Appearance of my Indented Scar on Forehead? (photo)

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.

I would typically recommend a scar revision for that type of scar and location. However, given that this has failed to improve the scar previously, you might consider medical tattooing during which the light scar could be pigmented and camouflaged. Find an expert as this type of medical tattoo can be difficult to do well. I wish you the best.

Though out of focus posted photo you can try "riggotomies" and PRP + fat filling. If you desire a more aggressive correction than multiple;e "w" or "z" plasties.//
