How effective is dermabrasion for rolling scars?

Doctor's Answers 1

Aesthetic

Dermabrasion is a very superficial treatment. Thus, this type of treatment will probably have no significant effect on scars.

Personally, I would recommend a combination of types of treatments. In this case, subscision and skin resurfacing treatments such as the eCO2 Laser to optimise results.

Good results will be in the range of 80% improvement. As there are many types of treatments available for different types of scars, you should always consult a doctor experienced in the treatment of acne scars to have a detailed examination of your condition/ skin so that the most appropriate treatment can be tailored to the type of scars you have.

Hope that helps.

Are there any side effects to regular Kenalog Shots for acne?

I agree with the answers by Dr Winston and Dr Israr. Intralesional injections are mainly recommended for acne cyst. As previously mentioned, frequent steroid injections can caused skin thinning and atrophy and if this happens it may be irreversible! There are many other effective treatments to get the acne under control like oral antibiotics and isotretinoin. So speak to your dermatologist and tell her your concerns and discuss if these other options are suitable for you.
