Question
Hi!
A proper examination is necessary!
Many patients have skin tags and seborrheic keratoses on neck and that only requires 1 session of electrocautery with the Ellman surgitron.
Could also be freckles or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation i.e. acne marks and we will use picosure for that. May need 2-3 sessions to clear pigmentation.
Best to see a doctor first! Not difficult to get rid of dark spots if the diagnosis is right!
Best regards
Dr Yanni
Good questions! I agree with Dr Chua’s reply on the pros and cons of Fractional CO2 lasers versus Infini RF. In addition, I would like to address your question on the ideal length of time between subcision and Infini RF treatments. The ideal interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks. This is to allow for adequate skin recovery. Hope that this answers your questions!
PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
