What can I do to get rid of these scars/dark marks from recurrent acne/abscesses on my inner thighs and buttocks? (Photo)

Question

I’m left with these scars/dark marks from acne/abscesses. I’ve had abscesses as big as 2 cherries on my inner thighs, buttocks, legs, underarms and back but I have not had one for 3 months now since I’ve changed my diet. How can I get rid of these dark marks? And how long will it take for them to be completely gone? I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

The treatment of scars on the face and body follows a protocol-based approach in our office. We start by characterizing the scars in terms of redness, atrophy, hypertrophy, size, volumetric biometrics, and color hyperpigmentation and then devise a customized protocol for you. Our Hidef scar protocol uses micro fractional and fractional RF, fractional laser, sublative RF, vbeam therapy, injection based IIT, and scar modulation. Scars that exhibit growth should begin treatment with Plato's Scar Serum twice daily followed by Melarase AM and Melarase PM for dark and discolored scars.
