Hello, I had an accident 13 years ago, which resulted in a scar on my forehead. The scar is indented. Is there any procedure that would improve its appearance?

Answer: Subcision For Elevating & Smoothing Indented Scars; Professional Manual Microneedling To Repigment Them Happily, there are a couple of simple, relatively inexpensive options for treating indented scars from all causes in all skin types that has stood the test of time for both safety and efficacy. Subcision, which I have been performing since 1995 can be used to elevate and smooth the scar and manual professionally-performed microneedling, which I have been performing for nearly 25 years can be used to help better blend the surface of the scar, in both color and texture, with the surrounding normal skin. No doubt in your quest for treatment you will be hawked this or that expensive, socalled "next big thing" fraxel lasers or RF device. But, don't be fooled. The hard science to back up the use of these fancy-named gizmos lags woefully behind the heavy marketing hype and social media buzz to promote them. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar treatment specialist. Best of luck.
