I’m having a revision done and am aware because of the way my nose is shaped (elf-like) that I will probably have another indented scar that inevitably stretches a bit. I’d like to mediate it this time. But CO2 is expensive. Can a peel do essentially the same thing for a lift lift scar? If, so which kind?
Answer: A chemical peel can be paired with laser treatments to help improve results Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Chemical Peels Chemical peels can indeed help to improve the appearance of scars, but they may not offer the same depth of treatment as CO2 laser resurfacing. A CO2 laser can penetrate deeper into the skin and stimulate more collagen production, which can be beneficial for improving the appearance of scars.

Answer: Chemical peel Chemical peels can improve the appearance of scars, but they may not provide the same benefits as more invasive procedures like CO2 laser treatment. It's essential to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine the most suitable option for your specific case. They can recommend the appropriate type of peel or other treatments based on your skin type and the nature of the scar.
