About 6 months ago I treated large blue veins on my temple with Yag laser. The same visit, the small broken capillaries on my nostrils were treated.The same laser setting was used to treat the temple veins and small red broken capillaries on nostrils. The laser left blisters that turned to scabs that oozed and didn’t heal for a week. When scabs fell off scars were left behind. I have since had prp and aggressive microneedling but no improvement. Any suggested filler or procedure that could help?

Answer: Post Yag Laser atrophic scar I'm sorry you have had a complication from your treatment. The scars are atrophic, meaning there has been a breakdown of collagen and fat in the area and subsequent fibrosis. They may improve naturally over time, and microneedling with PRP is worth continuing, especially if the original provider is doing these for you complementary. Hyaluronic acid fillers done by a very experienced provider is worth trying as the appearance of atrophic scars can be nicely improved. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, I would suggest consulting a facial surgeon for scar revision. I would seek out someone with expertise in MOHS micrographic surgery, they are used to treating this area surgically for skin cancers and can get you a beautiful result. Best, Dr. Tkatch
