I have a small chicken pox scar beneath my eyebrow from when I was a toddler. I want to diminish the appearance of it through scar revision, but I can't find information anywhere on the internet regarding the best procedure for this. Would laser help? Or microneedling? Or would I have to have surgery?
Answer: Recommend doing Plasma Pen and going under the sun to help bring color back into the white scarring 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: Chicken pox scar under brow A series of MicroNeedling treatments would be of great benefit to the scar under the brow. If you added PRP to the treatment it would greatly enhance it as well . Another option could be performing a nano fractionated laser , we have Venus Versa ... it uses RF technology along with ‘nano’ fine pins to stimulate fibroblast cells & rebuild collagen. Your last option could be adding a very small amount of filler to the scar.

Answer: Chicken pox scar A chicken pox scar can be improved with microneedling and laser in that area. Surgery is also possible, however you will be trading the chicken pox scar for another scar that lies along the border of your eyebrow. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
