How are acne scars on the nose treated? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi there,

Thank you for your photos.

From those photos, you have a combination of Box and Ice Pick scars.

Treatments wise, I would advise a combination of the TCA CROSS technique and Fractional CO2 lasers. For the TCA CROSS technique, high concentration TCA Acid will be administered to the scars to "fill" them up and make them less deep. Multiple sessions will be required and downtime of a few days to a week is to be expected.

Fractional lasers wise, there are hundreds of different settings and ways to administer the laser to ensure optimal results so do speak with your treating physician on this.

Hope this helps.

All the best!
