I'm 40 and have these acne scars from years ago. I have Indian skin so I know I must be careful with chemical peels. Might jessner and tca peels help with this scarring and hyperpigmentation?
Answer: TCA cross can help even out skin texture. Combine with a light CO2 laser 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.

Answer: Subcision For Elevating & Smoothing Boxcar/Rolling Scars Superficial peels, like Jessner's Solution, high concentrations of glycolic and salicylic acid, and low concentrations of TCA can work well, even in skin of color for improving very superficial textural and color abnormalities, but would be of little value for the deeper boxcar and rolling scars. For the latter, subcision, which I have been performing since 1995, can be used in all skin types for elevating and smoothing them. Once this is done, either the aforementioned superficial peels may be used for improving the color or professionally performed microneedling. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist scar specialist and best of luck.

Answer: Chemical peels Hi there! This is such a great question. There is often confusion between scarring and pigmentation, because sometimes a person can break out from acne, and when it heals, there is a dark mark left behind which they call a scar. This is actually post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and chemical peels work well for this.
