⚙️ RESURFACING PROCEDURES


Target: Superficial to moderately deep scars (like rolling and boxcar scars)


  1. Laser Resurfacing
    • Ablative: CO₂, Er:YAG (removes top skin layers)
    • Non-ablative: Fraxel (stimulates collagen without removing layers)
  2. Chemical Peels
    • Medium to deep peels: TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), Phenol
    • Cross technique (TCA CROSS): Spot application for ice-pick scars
  3. Dermabrasion
    • Mechanical sanding of skin (more aggressive than microdermabrasion)
  4. Microdermabrasion
    • Mild mechanical exfoliation (best for surface texture, not deep scars)
  5. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
    • Stimulates collagen by making micro-injuries
    • Often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma)



🛠️ FILLERS & VOLUME RESTORATION


Target: Atrophic/indented scars (rolling, boxcar)


  1. Dermal Fillers
    • Temporary: Hyaluronic acid (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane)
    • Long-lasting: Bellafill (PMMA), Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid)
  2. Autologous Fat Transfer
    • Fat taken from your body is injected under scars



🔪 SURGICAL OPTIONS


Target: Deep or stubborn scars


  1. Subcision
    • Needle or cannula breaks the fibrous bands under a scar
  2. Punch Excision
    • Used for deep boxcar/ice-pick scars — scar is cut out and stitched
  3. Punch Elevation

  • Scarred base is lifted to skin level and sutured

  1. Skin Grafting

  • Often used after punch excision; fills deep scar holes



💡 OTHER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES


Often combined with above methods for enhanced results


  1. Radiofrequency Microneedling

  • Combines microneedling with heat to stimulate deeper collagen (e.g., Morpheus8, Secret RF)

  1. Plasma Skin Resurfacing

  • Non-laser energy treatment that resurfaces skin

  1. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

  • Tightens skin and promotes collagen (less common for scars)

  1. LED Therapy (e.g., Red or Blue Light)

  • Mildly improves skin healing and inflammation (supportive, not primary)



🧪 TOPICAL AND INJECTABLE TREATMENTS


Used with or before procedures


  1. Steroid Injections

  • For raised (hypertrophic or keloid) acne scars

  1. 5-FU or Bleomycin Injections

  • For stubborn keloid scars

  1. Topical Retinoids (Tretinoin, Adapalene)

  • Improves texture and boosts cell turnover

  1. Silicone Gel/Sheets

  • For flattening raised scars

Better if you visit a derm. My basic routine for acne is with spf50, moisturiser from la roche posay and tret from skinorac
 
Real diy solution that worked for me: TCA peel cycled w microneedling 1.5 depth and silicone scar tape.

Rep and thank me later nigger
