How can I improve scar on chin? (photos)

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.

Best,

Hello @Vivid4407 thank you for your question. The best way to find out what you need is to schedule a consultation; there are several non-surgical treatments to diminish the scarring process. These include laser, fixer, and other products. Nevertheless, the specialist must assess each case individually to determine what you should do. All the best!

The therapy of choice--that has a more than five decades long track record for efficacy-- for flattening elevated, "proud flesh" (hypertrophic) scars remains intralesional injections of anti-inflammatory agents, such as triamcinolone. Relatively expensive, faddish, Johnny-come-lately "bells and whistles" devices, like RF and fraxel lasers may be heavily supported by a whole lot of device manufactuer marketing hype, but, to date, still lack the hard science to support their use. So, make sure to see a board certified cosmetic dermatologist with extensive scar treatment experience, and best of luck.
