I have done CO2 laser (3X) and RF microneedling for my acne scars. I have not seen the improvement I would like to see. Would subcision without or without filler be a good option for my acne scars? Unless I am mistaken they are mostly rolling scars with some boxcar.
Answer: Subcision Works Well For Indented Boxcar/Rolling Scars: TCA CROSS For Ice Pick Scars HD closeup photos would allow for a better assessment, In general, however, subcision works well for elevating and smoothing boxcar and rolling scars and TCA CROSS for treating ice pick scars and dilated pores. Each is a relatively inexpensive technique that has a more than two decades long track record for efficacy and safety, something which cannot be said for all the relatively expensive laser and other faddish energy-dependent devices that are so heavily hawked out there these days, as you have unfortunately learned the hard way. Sorry. Make sure that you consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist with experience and expertise in acne scar treatments. Best of luck.

Answer: Subcision and TCA Cross for acne scars Acne scars are usually characterized within the subtypes of atrophic, hypertrophic, pigmented, or inflammatory. These subtypes of acne scars can be visually discerning in ambient light and can cause significant cosmetic concerns. Indented and atrophic scars require a combination approach to stimulate collagen and elastin, thereby smoothing contour and uneven skin. These are usually combined with lasers and depigmentation protocols to reduce inflammatory hyperpigmentation (Melarase AM and Melarase PM). Our Hidef protocols for acne scars include fillers such as Sculptra, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane to improve deep acne scars; Vascular lasers to reduce inflammation and post-inflammatory redness and erythema; Fractional lasers to smooth contour and collagen; and Fractional RF to stimulate production of collagen within atrophic scars. Textural improvement and superficial scarring can be improved with Cosmelan peels, TCA Cross for ice-pick scars, deep chemical peels, and fractional CO2. We offer a personalized approach to your combination of scars and a formal evaluation with consultation is recommended to help you achieve your final results. Our plastic surgery office offers subcision and combination TCA Cross to help reduce deeply pitted scars. In terms of pigmentation and skin resonance, we recommend daily use of Melarase AM and Melarase PM coupled with Retinoid creams to achieve brilliant skin.
