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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
This is difficult to answer without pictures. These scars can be improved with laser spot treatment, fillers, microneedling/prp and subcision to help texture and blending. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
It would depend on the mark. If it is a scar the Fraxel Restore might do very nicely. If it is a tattoo or dark mark a PiQO4 laser would help to remove the discoloration. If you could post a photo I could be more specific. Best of luck, Dr. M
Hello, Thank you for your question you may want to try using ScarShield treatment cream. ScarShield is a scar treatment formulated to treat burns, cuts and post-surgical scars. Scar tissue is composed of the same collagen as the tissue it replaces. But, instead of the standard basket weave formation of collagen fibers found in normal tissue, the collagen fibers cross-link and form an alignment in a single direction creating a scar. ScarShield was formulated with multiple skin healing extracts to penetrate the cross-linked tissue and help reduce the appearance and/or thickness of scars and hyper pigmentation!ScarShield includes multiple extracts associated with healing such as, Silicone, Aloe, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and Allantoin – a skin regenerating extract that soothes irritated skin, inflammation and has been historically used to treat wounds, burns and scars. It is a natural anti-irritant and skin protectant that increases the rate at which connective tissue regenerates and helps to moisturize and soften the skin.
