Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. 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 decide whether early subcision should be started.

You have an active inflammatory skin condition which should be treated with your doctor before any kind of lightening procedures. Peels on damaged skin will worsen the state.

What do you think is causing the difference in pigmentation? Is it related to sun exposure? Or some type of skin irritation? You might want to consult with a Dermatologist who might recommend skin lightning topical agents.  You have to proceed with caution with peels that could result in scarring.
