Attaching pictures of my left and right side of the face. Sunlight is falling on my face so the scars look better than at other times. Honestly, the scars dont bother me too much but I want to get some treatment done to fade them a bit. What type of scars are these and what type of treatment is recommended? Im trying to educate myself before going through local dermatologists/surgeons.
thank you!
Looks like just some minor rolling scarring to me on your left cheek. On your right cheek it's much the same, but looks like one "roll" instead of "rolling" scarring.
From before and afters from my medical research (not real life - I have not worked 1 on 1 with thousands of scar patients like I have with acne) I personally like both the concept and results from ablative fractional laser + PRP. Or microneedling + PRP which is much the same thing. However, I have noticed people need many sessions (sometimes 8 or more) to achieve the results they want. Each session produces almost unnoticeable results, but over time it adds up.
However, for the one "roll" on your right cheek, I sorta wonder if a filler (perhaps an analogous fat transfer) might be helpful to get you started.
I'm just riffing here, and the most important thing is that you get under the care of an experienced, talented pro who has treated scars like yours for their entire career and has tons of before and afters very similar to yours.
