Do you recommend laser treatment for my hypertrophic scar on my Indian skin? (Photo)

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Scars like these can be improved with a combination of vascular lasers like Yellow laser, Aerolase, PDL, Vbeam and Excel V, microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential, and Silagen gel should be used twice daily with Jan Marini BioShield. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
