Adjust your settings on the run, based upon depth of correction . . 🔬Skin Science: To date, the vast vast majority of scar revisions are based upon SOP or standard operating protocols. I get it, you can not write a scientific paper based upon variables such as- ‘in this patient I did 2.2 mm RFM, 45 mj 2 passes then I went to 1.6 mm then used an erbium laser at 300 microns here but did 1200 microns on this area.‘ It won’t fly in any journal... . . 👍🏻👉Reality: Scars will vary in morphology from patient to patient, and even in the SAME patient they will vary even in the same location. Try placing your cannula in the dermis- subcutaneous junction, then ‘lifting’. In some cases you can actually SEE the dermal atrophy. Dermal thickness varies between patients & region . . 🔫Dialling in the artillery: Before RFM or laser, think before you pulse. Dial in the settings based upon the scar you are treating. This provides higher accuracy AND less collateral damage. Devices are only tools, pick them according to the job required. You adjust the head & the torque on your drill for various jobs, do the same for your instruments of choice, a fire & forget protocol is easy, a bespoke treatment takes much more time . . 😎Dr Davin Lim, Dermatologist Brisbane🇦🇺 . #acnescars #nomorescars #scarrevision #acnescartreatment #acnescarcure #dermatologist #brisbanedermatologist #cosmeticdermatology (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6u5mDD56_/?igshid=1wnwz51fhqohv
