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.

Thanks for asking. Angular cheilitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the corners of the mouth or oral commissures. Depending on underlying causes, it may last a few days or persist indefinitely. It is also called angular stomatitis, cheilosis and perleche (perlèche). It is best to see a Gp or dermatologist for prescription of the suitable medication.The treatment options are: Topical treatmentsDaktarin ® cream (miconazole) may be preferable as it treats candida, as well as having some Gram&dash;positive bacteriostatic actionIf the skin is significantly inflamed consider a topical steroid combination product eg Daktacort ® cream (miconazole plus 1% hydrocortisone), or, the short-term use of Trimovate ® creamIf the skin is not improving, treat with Fucidin ® cream (fusidic acid) or Fucidin H ® cream (also contains 1% hydrocortisone), at least four times daily. Hope this helps. Wish you all the best.
