For very deep acne scars, what are recommended treatment methods? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

You have deep ice-pick scars. These deep scars are best dealt with in 2 stages.

The first stage involves converting the deep scars to shallower scars. Scar excision and TCA cross are methods to achieve this.

The second stage involves blurring the scar outline and lifting the scar up further. Fractional CO2 lasering, fractional microneedle RF, fractional picosecond lasering are methods to achieve this.

Stage 2 procedures may be started 3-4 weeks after complete healing from stage 1 procedures.

Hope this helps!
