How can I lighten my dermatillomania scars? (Photo)

Question

I have struggled with dermatillomania for years. Over the years I’ve been better about not picking. I am now curious about what options I may have for scar removal. I’ve used many creams, oils but have always been too ashamed to get professional help.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Scar revision requires in-depth experience and can improve the visibility of scarred tissue. We use a HIDEF approach that includes Vbeam laser for red and active scars, combination fractional and non-ablative laser for active hypertrophic and keloid scars, and micro fractional laser for surface topography. These can improve PIH, PIE, textural scars, and deeply red or pigmented scars.
