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.

Surgical removal would likely leave scars that may evolve into unsightly stretch scars with tram track stitch tracks. From the photos, the scars appear flat. If so, then the use of manual Dermastamp microneedling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF microneedling) accompanied by the application of topical pigment enhancing prescription medications can help to repigment the scars and improve their surface texture. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar specialist. Hope this helps and best of luck.
