Answer: Recommend having this scar revised to improve appearance. Follow with laser treatment to further improve Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Facial scarring You are feeling the thickness because the scar is inflammatory. It will take a full year for it to settle down. You have not indicated when the accident occurred or if it was surgical closed, although from its appearance, I am assuming that it healed secondarily. You could certainly see a plastic surgeon for a scar revision consultation. WIth a scar of this size, I would typically revise it in two stages to minimize the length of the resulting scar.
