Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring. Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
It is safe to start any silicone dressing or biocornum treatments immediately after your procedure. Good luck!
Thank you for your question. You can start back on the silicone dressing and the biocorneum treatments right away.
You could begin a silicone gel virtually right away after Fraxel laser because the skin surface isn't broken with that particular laser. You should be aware that plain vaseline works as well as any scar treatment including silicone.
Fraxel is brand for laser and there are many different Fraxel lasers. It all depends which one was used on your skin and how your skin responds. It may take up to two weeks for some people to have their skin completely heal. Still, scab forming is worrisome therefore I advise you to urgently...
I believe that you would benefit the most from combination of treatments including laser, microneedling and microdermabrasion. You may need some fillers. It is hard to tell just by looking at this picture. This would minimize your scars and improve your skin texture and appearance. I advise you...
I am so sorry for your problem. I treat a great deal of patients who are Indian with your type of skin and it has to be treated very carefully since it is prone to burn if too much heat is used with the laser. It appears from your photo that there may have been too much heat used in this area. ...
