Would subcision, or a series of chemical peels or microneedling treatments help? (Photos)

Acne scarring is never something we cure but we can improve, a series of co2 lasers is a nice way to make major change. If I am still dissatisfied I will add dermabrasion , not microdermabrasion, and or radiofrequency microneedling to the totality of the facial skin. Subcision is helpful for a limited number of deep pock marks but I feel that something needs to be injected to avoid it sinking back in, either filler or fat, alternatively prp.

Based on your description of previous treatments, it's possible that additional procedures could further improve the appearance of your acne scars.

Subcision
How it works: Subcision involves breaking up scar tissue beneath the skin's surface to help reduce the appearance of indented scars.  
Potential benefits: It can be effective for deep, boxcar scars.
Considerations: It may require multiple sessions and can cause some discomfort or bruising.  
Chemical Peels
How they work: Chemical peels exfoliate the skin's surface to encourage new cell growth.  
Potential benefits: Can help improve the appearance of superficial scars and discoloration.  
Considerations: Deeper peels may require more downtime and carry a higher risk of complications.  
Microneedling
How it works: Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production.  
Potential benefits: Can be effective for a variety of scar types, including rolling and boxcar scars.  
Considerations: May require multiple sessions and can cause temporary redness or discomfort.  
A combination of these treatments might be beneficial in your case. For instance, subcision could be used to address deeper scars, while chemical peels or microneedling could help with surface irregularities and discoloration.

It's essential to discuss your options with a doctor or dermatologist to determine the best approach based on your specific skin condition and goals. They can also provide guidance on potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

Hello Lucy36. We have been using a relatively new modality to treat scars and aging called Ellacor. We have gotten some fabulous results. I would suggest a consultation with a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in your area that offers this to obtain to see if this might be an option for you.
