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.

Microneedling does not improve rosacea nor is it a treatment for facial redness and vascularity. Microneedling is however a great treatment for improving uneven skin texture and treating scars. Lasers such as the Excel V or VBeam will help with facial redness and broken capillaries.
You can have microneedling with PRP or hyaluronic serum done after fillers. We perform the PRP facelift and facial at our office and often do them in conjunction with HA fillers. We typically do the injections first followed by microneedling
