Hello! I’ve suffered with this specific acne scar for years. It started off as a cyst, and I believe it was a sebaceous cyst as it had more drainage and pus similar to that of a sebaceous cyst. I’ve had 3 microneedling sessions for it and it has not really changed much. It almost looks like 2 small holes in my face and I’m not really sure what procedure would be best for this.
Answer: Comprehensive Approaches to Acne Scar Treatment Hello, and thank you for your question. Treating persistent acne scars, especially those that started as sebaceous cysts, can be challenging, but there are several options that might help improve their appearance:

Answer: Multiple treatment such as TCA and resurfacing lasers like CO2 and resurfx can help with these scars. 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.

Answer: TCA CROSS Works Well For Closing Pit Scars, Narrow Holes, & Even Piercing Holes I'm sorry that this has happened. TCA CROSS, which is used to treat ice pick acne scars, dilated pores, and even piercing holes, may prove useful for treating the small hole scars seen in the photo. Punching them out or surgically removing them runs the risk for the subsequent development of stretch scars and even tram track stitch marks. Microneedling, as you have already found out the hard way, was very unlikely to achieve much of anything, as it is best reserved for treating very superficial, surface color and texture irregularities.It's not good for deep scars. Sorry. You would be wise to make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist. Hope this helps and best of luck going forward.
