Hello my friends!
I am asking this question for my friend. She got this scar from an injury, so it is not really an acne scar. The scar has been there for 1 year. She is doing prp but it seemed to help not much.
Do you have any suggestions for treating her scar? Comments would be greatly appreciated!
Ok a bit confused by the pic. Is it the red PIE on the cheek or the scar on the neck?
Scar for the cheek is vascular laser, it's not a scar actually it's PIE or wounding.
Scar on neck looks like hypogimentation. Loss of pigment. Your treatments here are Recell gives a percentage of improvement. Latiesse forget how to spell it, for eyelash growth is known to help with depigmented skin. There is a laser called Excimer which also helps with this. Lastly there is something called medical tattooing see link in the FAQ - top post of the scar solutions sub, then FAQ, then skin, and Hypopigmentation for more.
Young scars do well with silicone, some sun burn the area, by applying sunscreen everywhere except there for small improvement.

Thanks BA for the input.
Sorry about the confusion. She was asking about the scar on the cheek. The red mark on the neck is also a scar and is much older (back when she was a kid). It was caused by a surgery.
Thanks for the clarification...
Vascular laser it is then, this is not a scar, it's PIE or wounding. Laser types are V-beam, IPL, Excel V, and 1064nm
Some try creams first like hydroquinone and retin a, others do peels to get some improvement. Please see the top post of the hyperpigmentation sub, very first post, read about the treatments for PIE or wounding.
