Remove stretch marks on knees - surgical options? (photos)

Question

I always have insecurity about my knees stretch marks, I tried a lot of treatment none worked, Is there is a surgical option for that kind of stretch marks,I would like to have one scar rather than a lot of them

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Hello! Prior to committing to a scar that may be more noticeable than the stretch marks I would recommend either several rounds of microneedling, microneedling with radiofrequency (such as mopheus8) or paramedical tattooing. If you have tried microneedling without success before, it would likely be worth considering the paramedical tattooing to camoflage the stretch marks. Hope that helps and wish you all the best!
