Dr. Hazany completed an intensive plastic surgery internship at Morehouse School of Medicine at various locations throughout the Atlanta area, where the primary patient demographic is Black or of African descent. There, Dr. Hazany honed his skills and understanding of dermatologic treatment for Black skin.

    Treatment for acne scars on Black skin or for people of African descent presents unique challenges. People with darker skin tones who are of African descent are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Also, Black skin is particularly prone to the development of keloid scars.

    Dr. Hazany accounts for PIH in his acne scar treatment for Black patients by prescribing a custom compounded bleaching or lightening cream to ensure against PIH after subcision, chemical peel, and other treatments for acne scarring. He uses a special pharmacy to create custom lightening creams that contain the necessary vitamins and nutrients to prevent PIH and prepare your skin for the best acne scar treatment results. Additionally, Dr. Hazany has a thorough understanding of keloid scar development and treatment to ensure against scar overgrowth during the healing process for your acne scar treatment.
