I have very poor skin appearance and texture on my legs - mainly the backs of the thighs and calves. As can be seen in the photos there is: excess scarring from previous ingrown hairs from shaving poor skin laxity thread veins keratosis pilliaris I am confused as to whether a combination of micro needling / exilis / fraxel laser / PRP would be most suitable, and whether these would be suitable for large areas such as the legs? Any further advice would be appreciated.
Answer: Recommend doing Venus Viva paired with PRP to help improve texture of the skin. Follow with Vbeam to treat veins 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: Microneedling Thank you for your question in regards to microneedling. Based on your concerns, there are different options for each one. A series of laser hair removal treatments can help minimize the occurrence of ingrown hairs. Sclerotherapy or laser treatments can help with the appearance of spider veins. Microneedling sessions can help with overall skin tone and texture. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
