Thank you for your question. Without seeing you in person, it is difficult to advise you of the best treatments to address your issues. However, there are such a variety of procedures available - chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments - that I’m sure you can find one that will provide you with the results you are looking for. My best advice would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. They can examine your skin up close and recommend the procedure or procedures that will offer you the best possible results. Hope this helps.

Collage stimulating procedures will most likely be needed in the thinned out skin and consideration should be given to get PRP or microneedling with PRP

Thank you for your inquiry. It would be best to be seen in person. Your plastic surgeon will properly assess your skin as well as your medical history. Once that is complete, you will be advised on the best course of treatment. Chemical peels and dermabrasion are great treatment to treat acne scars and scarring in general. Home care creams will most likely be prescribed as well.
