I am a 44yo woman who had bad acne due to PCOS, which has resulted in a pitted complexion on my cheeks (they are not the really deep pock marks that you may see with some people, but more like a golf ball with indentations). Looking for a professional, unbiased (meaning you're not trying to up-sell me) opinion from the community of fabulous doctors here. Thank you so much!
Answer: Vampire Facelift or Vampire Facial for Acne Between the two, a Vampire Facial is the best procedure for acne scarring. It involves microneedling followed by PRP. Overall, I recommend a procedure called Morpheus8 followed by PRP for acne scars as it combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy as well as PRP representing three different technologies for optimal results.

Answer: Acne Scars - Needs Combination of Subcision; Fillers Like Bellafill; Lasers Like Fraxel/Erbium/Co2; TCA cross; Intensif/Fractora Thank you for your question, Acne scar treatment needs a combination approach for improvement. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. Typically you need fillers like bellafill and sculptra for atrophic indented type scars with or without subcision. Subcision for depressed tethered scars. Vascular lasers like yellow laser, aerolase, excel V or IPL for redness or thick scars. And lasers such as fraxel, erbium, co2 or fractional radiofrequency like venus viva, skinfinity, intensif or fractora microneedling RF for textural issues and superficial scarring. Deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS and punch excision. All lasers are combined with microneedling and PRP to get even better results and improve healing times. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment plan is needed by an expert physician. It is never about the laser or product that gives the results, its about the expert behind the equipment that gets you the outcome. Scars cannot be cured and will need life-long treatments to maintain and build on the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Revitalizing Skin with the Vampire Facial We usually recommend the Vampire facial for treating acne scarring. Combining microneedling and topical PRP, the Vampire facial is best for addressing texture issues like oversized pores, rough textures, and wrinkles, to restore smooth skin (whereas the facelift focuses on restoring volume and shape). More extensive scarring and indentations may also benefit from a more tailored PRP treatment or a Vampire facial that’s combined with or followed by supporting treatments.
