It's been under a month but I've been left with what looks like a hole and I'm worried it's not going to fill in. I've been using aloe vera gel and vitamin e oil. Any advice would be much appreciated
Answer: Subsicion or a scar revision should be done to improve appearance followed by laser treatments 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.

Answer: Filling Solutions--Dented Scar: fillers, lasers, microneedling/prp This will require a combination approach likely of filler (bellafill), laser/RF (fraxel or viva), and microneedling/prp. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: I got a deep scar left from a bacterial infection I got on my face. Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your infection. In order to prevent a recurrence of the bacterial infection you need to allow your scar to heal from the inside-out. This will take several weeks, with maturation of scar occurring over months. Once the skin has returned to normal, options at improving the scar can be performed. See the link below for more information.
