What treatment would you suggest for this?

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

What treatment would you suggest for this?

Postby hope2011 » Sun Jun 12, 2011 6:06 pm

Hi Dr Lam,
I was hoping you could suggest a treatment for my condition. I am currently undergoing V-beam laser to help fade the redness but my big worry is the indented scarring. I saw a cosmetic dermatologist and she told me this was ice pick scars. I did suffer recently from a random outburst of cystic acne which left me behind with this. I would probably fall under a type IV or V on the Fitzpatrick scale. Looking forward to hearing your response. I can put up more photos if this one is not clear. Thanks in advance

the vbeam is a good thing for the redness. when that is settled a combination of TCA CROSS and silicone micro should help with the depressions.
best,

Thank you for your prompt response.

I cannot get the other procedures at the same time as v-beam?

i personally would just finish your vbeam, then give me a call. i like to take care of the color problems first then i can start on the depressions. :)
