Scar Removal - which laser/treatment do you recommend? (Photo)

Question

Received breast surgery 11 months ago. Underwent accutane treatment for acne *post* surgery and unsure whether or not it impacted my scarring/healing progression. What type of laser and/or treatment would best resolve this? Is this an internal or external issue? Please see photos for reference.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. 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 discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .
