After dealing with cystic acne my skin is almost clear, but I have some minor scaring I would like to address. What procedure would be best for my type of scarring?
Answer: Acne Scar Treatment Option Hello, my name is Lauren, and I’m the aesthetics injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. CO2 laser treatments and microneedling are both effective options for improving the appearance of acne scars. I recommend scheduling a consultation with your provider for a comprehensive skin and facial assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.

Answer: A combination of Melapeels, TCA cross, and Resurfx can help even out skin texture and tone caused by scaring. Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: Microneedling and Laser Resurfacing. Thank you for your question! At our practice we recommend microneedling or laser resurfacing in regard to acne scaring. Microneedling creates micro controlled wounds on the area of concern which stimulates the body's natural healing process. During this healing process, collagen and elastin are increased which helps with scaring, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture. Juliet laser resurfacing works by delivering energy in a small grid to the treatment area, treating both the top and deeper layers of the skin, while stimulating your body's natural creation of new collagen. The superficial layer of your skin will slough off in 3-4 days after the procedure, revealing renewed, restored skin.
