Question

Old staph scar from yeas ago.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Hi there! For the eyebrow scar, there are varying options. Depending on your skin tone, you can try energy-based devices like Morpheus8. You have to be careful being too aggressive and causing pigmentation issues. Micro and nanofat injections can help to improve the scar. Steroid injections are another option. If all else fails, surgically excising the scar to create a "better" one can work. Hope this is useful!
