How do I get rid of redness inside scars? (Photo)

Question

My acne scars have improved after a couple of sessions of laser but now I am concerned with the redness inside the scars that have been lingering for months, it draws more attention to my now shallower scars in different lightings. I just want my skin tone to be even again. Is it possible? What procedures could i look into (laser genesis?). Does this improve on its own? Sometimes it looks brown/purple to me but my esthetician said its redness and not hyperpigmentation.

this needs vascular laser in the office and at home dermarolling and skincare.

You need proper skincare with skincare lines like faith (specifically the essence serum clay mask and moisture enrich lotion), Restorsea liquid gold and 10x cream, Sente dermal repair cream and 24 hour bio complete serum.  At home peels like emerageskin AERIFY with LED light therapy like lightstim can make a big difference.

In office, redness is treated with

1. vascular lasers (excel v, vbeam, BBL, IPL, Aerolase, yellow laser)

2. Aquagold or micro ampule infusion (botox topically)

3. microsecond yag lasers (laser genesis, Aerolase)

4. proper medical grade skincare (faith, Restorsea, sente, emerageskin) and LED therapy (light stim)

5. non ablative, low level, low density lasers (clear and brilliant)

6. nano fractional RF (venus viva)

see an expert for a full workup.  Best, Dr. Emer.
