I've been seeing a dermatologist for years now to help with bad acne in my teens, I am now 23 and want to remove these scars (arnd 4 yrs old). She has recommended Picosure for me, and assures me that these scars can improve by using Picosure, however, even though she is highly trusted, I was looking around online and have my doubts about whether I should spend my money on this right away. I am afraid of invasive procedures such as TCA and Fraxel, as I am a student who would prefer low downtime.
Answer: All Good Optons Thank you for your question and posting pictures. No one has perfect skin, but you can probably get improvement in your scars. Every physician will have their area of expertise and preferred treatments. You might find success with microneedling with PRP, TCA Cross, subcision, fillers, etc. There is no best treatment that will work on everyone.

Answer: PicoSure for acne scars Hi there! These Acne scars look to be a mixture of rolling and box car scars. Definitely PicoSure laser treatment with its focus lens will help, and I would also suggest an additional treatment such as RF microneedling or subcision to address the deeper dermal aspect of the scar.Best wishesDr Bernard Tan

Answer: It is important that you aim for an improvement and not perfection. it is important that you aim for an improvement and not perfection. I do not believe any treatment, will eliminate all of your scarring. i will often recommend the Picosure laser (expect to need around 6 sessions, each spaced at least one month apart) alternating with microneedling.

Answer: Picosure will absolutely help! I concur with your dermatologist. Picosure will help remove the scars and actually revitalize your skin by stimulating the collagen and elastin production in your skin. Since it does not rely on heat (thermal) destruction of cells the downtime is MUCH less too and it works faster than any topical treatments! All the best!

Answer: Improvement vs optimal care - Picosure and scars; the truth I was the Key Opinion Leader for Cynosure. I do have a Picosure, and I think this laser is great for removal of green ink and general skin rejuvenation in darker skin type. As for acne scars, this is pure marketing. My evaluation 4 years ago showed minimal improvement in all types of scars. One out of twenty patients showed a one grade improvement in scarring. The question is, are there more effective treatments for your scar type? The answer is 100% YES. Simple microneedling, or RF coupled with PRP and CO2 will give you a more predicate response. When do I use pico? When there is a melanin rich state - namely after CO2 fractional laser. 071 6mm over pass to scar areas- this will reduce PIH, reduce comedones and pores. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane.
