Answer: Recommend doing Resurfx laser paired with TCA cross for this scar. Dermabrasion can help reduce appearance as well Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: Dermabrasion Dermabrasion will improve the scar. You may need a couple of treatments and you should try to keep it out of the sun.

Answer: Fractional Microneedle Resurfacing Works Well For Post Traumatic & Post Surgical Scar Improvement I have been performing manual dermasanding or machine performed dermabrasion to improve recent post traumatic and post surgical scars (as in this case)--a technique known as "scarabrasion" with generally gratifying results since the late 1980s. Results are best if performed within eight to twelve weeks following injury or surgery. Contrary to the old dictum of "Wait a year until the scar matures," improvement in the appearance of the scar is best if treatment is undertaken within the critical window just mentioned and becomes increasingly less effective the longer one waits after that time. Scarabrasion is a minimally invasive process and healing typically takes a couple of weeks. More recently, in my practice, fractional microneedle therapy (aka medical microneedling, skin needling and dermal rolling) has replaced scarabrasion. Effective treatment must still be performed within the critical eight to twelve week period following the trauma or surgery (It's also used for acne scars), but the treatment is less invasive and healing is usually complete by the next day. More than one treatment session, however, is required, but since there is little to no downtime, this doesn't really present much of an obstacle to this approach.
