I am a 22 Asian girl. I have several pitted acne scar on both of my cheeks, and I also have oily skin with enlarged pores and broken capilaries around my nose. I have to wear foundation everyday to cover them. I am getting married next year, so I want to have a good skin condition on the big day. (At least go without those pitted scars which is not able be covered by foundation) What kind of laser or treatment should I have? And What is the price range I am going to spend on these? Thank you.
Answer: Subcsion can be done followed by laser treatment to even out skin texture 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.

Answer: Pitted Acne Scars and broken capillaries around the nose #laserresurfacing Thank you for your question. Photos would be helpful.Deep pitted acne scars are usually best treated with direct excision and closure if there aren't too many.Also, little vessels around the nose can be treated with intense light therapy, such as BroadBand Light or a vascular laser.An added benefit is that BroadBand Light, or Forever Young BBL, also improves the appearance of pores.To be sure what is right for you, see a board certified plastic surgeon or board certified dermatologist who has several lasers and who is highly skilled at laser skin correction.

Answer: #laserresurfacing acne scars require a combination of procedures including but not limited to laser resurfacing. best would be for you to be evaluated in person and then determine the short and long-term plan to treat your scars. I use a combination of lasers, sometimes combined with surgeries along with either fat grafting or other filler injections. you can look at the pics below

Answer: Pitted acne scars can be improved with laser. One of the best lasers for acne scarring is the 1540nm non-ablative fractionated resurfacing laser. I use the one made by Palomar. I usually recommend 3-4 sessions with this laser, which delivers heat into the skin to help reconfigure the scar and help promote collagen production. you will be red for about a day or two. With the last session, I do the 1540 first, and then use a 2940nm fractionated Yag laser. With this you will have about 5 days of downtime - pretty red at first. If your scar are very deep, the laser can be done with subcision where a small blade is put under the skin to but some of the deep scar bands. A small amount of fat can also be placed under the scars to help fill them in. Unfortunately acne scars take a lot of work to improve, and it will cost you a few thousand to really make a good improvement.
