Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Eric T. Carniol, MD · Answer

Right after microneedling, the care for your skin should be very particular, as director by your doctor. In general, silicone sheeting is excellent for scars at any stage. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor!

Donna Johnston, MD · Answer

The more definitive treatment for the scar is to continue with sequential treatments of the scar with the microneedling. Over time this will slowly decrease the appearance of the scar.  A more aggressive treatment of the scar would be using Fraxel non-ablative laser too.  Some choose to do Fraxel treatment x 3 sessions then follow up with microneedling sessions monthly to continue to improve the appearance of the scar.
