Doctor's Answer

Thanks for your close up photos.

You have brown marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), shallow atrophic scars and enlarged pores on your face.

Best Treatment for brown marks in Singapore - Post-Inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Brown marks (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) tend to fade over time.

However, some of my patients have PIH that can take close to a year to resolve.

1. Sun block/ sun protection

2. Topical retinoids

3. Pigment Laser (eg. Pico Laser)

Best Treatment of Atrophic scars and Enlarged pores in Singapore

1. Chemical peels

2. Laser resurfacing (fractional or non-fractional picosecond laser resurfacing)- will help to improve your scars through collagen stimulation.

3. Subcision- helps to release underlying scar tissue.

Usually several sessions of acne scar treatments (laser/non-laser treatments) will be required for best acne scar removal results.
