I was bitten by a brown recluse spider on my cheek and have a deep scar. I have had laser therapy six times but the scar still remains. What would you recommend I do to either get rid of this forever or at least for a year at a time?

Answer: Scar Correction With Juvederm I would have to see you in person to determine the most suitable course of treatment, however possible options may include fillers and surgical scar correction. Microneedling may help a bit as well, although the improvement may not be as dramatic as you'd like and results can be unpredictable.

Answer: Deep scars are hard to reverse with fillers, excision and fat injections can work
Deep scars are hard to reverse with fillers, excision and fat injections can work. This is in my experience. Sometimes you are able to get some improvement with fillers. But what I've experienced is that the filler tends to be injected in the surrounding areas and not where you want them which is under the scar. You really have to break up the scar tissue that has accumulated under the depression and this needs to be released. Once release you can fill it with fillers or fat. What I like to do is undermine the depressed area with different instruments and then fill it with fat. This however will not improve any surface characteristics like incisions or lines there. The only way to improve that is to actually excise this type of scar. I would really need to see a picture of the scar or the scar in person to better figure out a way to improve it. Sometimes with the scar revision, you need to go under the skin to really release the collagen bands of scar tissue to alllow the skin to relax. Then more fat grafting may still be needed. You can always email me a picture if you would like more details.

Answer: Treatment for a spider bite scar on the cheek
Scars may be revised by surgical excision, punch graft, scar elevation, scar dermabrasion, Fraxel Restore multiple treatments, Fraxel Repair, special dressings, subcision and fillers. You would have to be examined to determine what are the best treatments for you. Some scars are so bound down that filler injected underneath them spreads out to the adjoining dermis and elevates the epidermis making the indented scar look deeper!
