Orange peel and acne scars Hello, What treatments can I do to improve my skin texture? I’ve have microneedling, chemical peels, one round of clear and brilliant, and I’ve tried PRP. My acne scars have improved, but minimally. I would like to know if there are any other options to improve my skin texture."
Answer: A light CO2 paired with TCA cross to help even out skin texture Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

Answer: Acne scar treatment is a long journey with multimodal approach not a trial and error. How to treat orange peel acne scars? The gold standard for treating acne scars is energy-based procedures. Due to altered wound healing with acne scars the underlying fibrotic scar tissue can be severe and create a lumpy, uneven texture on the skin's surface, often referred to as "orange peel" or "rolling" scars. While these scars may NOT appear particularly severe on the surface, the underlying fibrotic tissue can make them difficult to treat with peels, micro needling, clear and brilliant kind of superficial treatments.

Answer: A Field Subcision Can Improve Both Skin Texture & Acne Scars Unfortunately, there is no substitute for an in-person examination that allows for palpation and manipulation of the skin. However, at least from the one photo provided, it would appear that a Field Subcision would help to create smoother skin and diminish the overlying acne scarring and dilated pores. Some comments are in order, however, regarding the previous treatments. In general, both manual microneedling (no need for the extra risk and expense of added RF) and superficial chemical peels typically require a series of between two to six (on average 3 or 4) treatment sessions to be successful. So, if you have had only one or two sessions of each, then you might wish to consider revisiting these options. Here-today-gone-tomorrow, expensive light and energy-based devices are unfortunately backed by little hard science and an whole lot of marketing, advertising and social media hype, and the same can be said of PRP; so, no surprise about your disappointment with these. Sorry. On the other hand, a Field Subcision, which has proven both safe and effective for nearly three decades in all skin types, can provide the needed stretch to the overlying skin to smooth it and thus diminish the appearance of the overlying dilated pores and ice pick scars and to increase all-important light reflectivity. Any remaining troublesome ice pick scars or dilated pores can then be treated with TCA CROSS, another procedure with a more than two decades long track record for safety and efficacy in all skin types--although this is unlikely to be needed. Make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.
