Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Hi @Str.a8. Microneedling with PRP would be a great option to address enlarged pores, skin texture,  fine lines, and wrinkles. I typically recommenced 3-6 sessions. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

A combination approach will give the most improvement. These types of scars need a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision, salt facials and fillers. It may take a series of treatments and may need some treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello! Thank you for your question! Microneedling would be a great option to help with pore size. It can also help with skin texture and fine lines and wrinkles. This typically takes multiple treatments. I hope this helps!

Hello!You want to include a great cleanser, treatment moisturizer and sunscreen. If you want to see fast results, you can also do a series of microneedling and/or chemical peels.
