Pink skin scar from cold sore - what treatment will help? (photos)

Your red and hyperemic scar would be best treated with our HIDEF protocol for red scars that includes vbeam laser, fractional RF, and sublative laser. This will also improve skin contour.

​​I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Scars like these can generally be improved with lasers (BBL, ProYellow, Excel V, VBeam) and microneedling with PRP. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Hi there,

Just be a little patient as it will likely heal in a few more weeks. If not then you can consider laser as an option but it will likely improve on its own.

Best of luck!
