The texture on my cheeks appears different due to the pigmentation, almost resembling a shadow. When I pull the skin taut, the visibility diminishes, leading me to question whether it's truly pigment-related or possibly linked to the natural structure of my cheeks. I'm actively searching for treatment for reddness/hyperpigmentation, particularly on the cheeks. Although it may appear subtle in photos, it's more pronounced in reality.
Answer: Defuse redness in the face with VBeam laser treatments 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.
