So sorry that this has happened to you.
In spite of the continued recommendations by many doctors to "wait a year until the scar has matured," It has been known since the late 1980s that the actual ideal time for intervention to achieve the best outcome is between the end of week four after the injury (or surgery or infection), when the scar is strong enough to withstand treatments, and the end of week twelve (after which the scar is considered "mature," and the chances for optimal improvement in appearance are greatly diminished.
Dermastamp manual microneedling (no need for the added expense or risks of RF microneedling) performed during that critical interval would be a very reasonable treatment approach.
Bearing the above time-frame above, you would be wise to make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatology scar treatment expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. For a dog bite scar on the lip, particularly one that is relatively recent, there are several options for scar revision and management. Here are a few recommendations:

Consultation with a Specialist: It's important to consult with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon who specializes in scar revision. They can assess the scar's current state and recommend the best course of action.

Topical Treatments: In the early stages, topical treatments such as silicone gel or sheets can help minimize the appearance of scars. These products can be effective in reducing redness and improving texture.

Laser Therapy: Laser treatments, such as fractional laser therapy, can help improve the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and evening out skin texture.

Steroid Injections: If the scar is raised or hypertrophic, steroid injections may help flatten and soften it.

Surgical Revision: In some cases, surgical scar revision might be necessary. This involves removing the scar tissue and rejoining the skin in a way that minimizes scarring.

Microneedling: This procedure can also help improve the appearance of scars by stimulating collagen production.

Massage and Moisturization: Regularly massaging the scar with a gentle moisturizer can help keep the skin supple and may improve the appearance over time.

It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider to discuss these options and determine the best treatment plan based on the scar's characteristics and your personal preferences. Early intervention often yields the best results, so don't hesitate to seek professional advice.
