Answer: Treatments such as injection therapy and resurfacing lasers can help minimize appearance of this type of scar. 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: Scars Are Treatable, But The Sooner They Are Treated, The Better The Outcome From the appearance of the scar in the photo, I see no reason not to attempt to treat it in order to improve its appearance. However, there is a time line for achieving optimal improvement in appearance. If an imminent scar is treated between the end of four weeks after the injury or surgery that caused it and the end of twelve weeks, there is a good chance for even "erasing" the scar. However after twelve weeks have elapsed, then improvement falls more into the range of 50-80 percent overall improvement. At the end of four weeks after wounding the imminent scar is strong enough to withstand treatment and after twelve weeks it is considered "mature" and not likely to achieve maximal improvement. The latter is the case here. However, a few treatment sessions of manual, professionally performed microneedling is likely to help the scar better blend in color and texture with the surrounding normal skin. Surgical revision is likely, however, especially in areas subject to a great deal of movement, to result in the formation of a stretch scar and possibly even tram track stitch tracks.
