TCA cross redness - will Pico laser help as well as RF Microneedling?

Question

I’m asian and underwent 6 TCA Cross treatments for my chickenpox scars (last treatment was 2 months ago). It had outstanding results as it’s flat. However, one scar seems to have persistent redness while others is already my skin tone… Will pico laser help as well as RF Microneedling? The one with redness also has somewhat of a texture so RFM maybe helpful? Thank you!

Hello Hersheys2003! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Based on your history, I would recommend treating the affected area with the PiQo laser. PiQo is a great laser that helps target hyperpigmentation, brown spots, sun spots, and more. With this treatment, you must be consistent. Generally, I recommend 6-8 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. I highly recommend and hope this helps!

I have had gratifying results over the years using simple manual Dermastamp (no need for the extra expense and added risks of RF microneedling) accompanied by the application of erythema reducing agents, such as brimonide, oxymetazoline and tranexamic acid. You would be wise to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.
