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.

I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist to do laser and topical scar treatments to speed the healing. It really needs an in person evaluation to determine what is best. Dr. Emer.
Hi Princess. The cuts look very new so there is not much in the way of remedical procedures that can be done until they heal. We would recommend sun avoidance and a moisturizer or even petroleum jelly to help them heal. Once the skin has closed, there are options to help with redness and texture if the scratches leave indentations. Once the area heals, report photos or schedule a consultation with a scar removal expert.to see examples of before and after photos for scar removal patients in Los Angeles that have had procedures at our office, click on the link below.
Stitches in this area should be done properly, meticulously, and come out typically no later than 14-21 days. I suggest you speak to your surgeon and take the sutures out then start your wound healing protocols. Best, Dr. Emer.
Tribal marks are difficult to smoothe out. A combination of topical treatments, laser, and IIT can help improve your scars. A knowledgeable scar revision expert should be chosen. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
