I was attacked by two pitbulls on 6/14/18. I have no insurance and I am terrified that waiting on lawyers & stuff is going to make scarring harder to treat. Will microneedling help? Can I do it at home? What can I do at home that will help? Also why does it feel like hard little pimples where the scars are at. Thank you.
Answer: Venus viva RF microneedling can help even out skin texture caused by scarring. Combine with other laser treatments 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. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Microneedling for scarring Microneeding could help your scar flatten out and blend a little better, but I never recommend home microneedling for safety reasons. Adding PRP to microneedling could also help with the healing and overall look of scar treatments. Laser skin resurfacing treatments might also be helpful. In some cases, even surgical scar revision might be needed. An in-person exam would be very helpful to determine the best treatment plan.All the best,

Answer: Microneedling after dogbites Thank you for your pictures and your questions. What an injury but it looks like you are healing well. The scars are likely to feel hard in some places as they heal so this is normal. I wish I could micro needle you today with my technique and my products because I know it will be effective. I would definitely not do this at home and seek out only Omnibioceutical Innovations professional growth factor to use with the microneedling procedure. I have been using this serum for many years and have treated many traumatic injuries. This product is the only one on the market with the patents and the purity you need. In over 1000 treatments, we have never had a non responder! There are so many microneedling procedures out there, but they are not the same. Please look for a practice in your area that only uses this product for microneedling. Best of luck Sincerely, Dr. Schneider
