Revision Acne Scar Treatment in Seattle with Dr. Young

At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we understand how acne scars can affect your self-esteem. That’s why we offer a unique acne scar revision treatment designed to minimize the appearance of scars, often in just one session. This transformative approach, developed by our expert Dr. Philip Young, combines his years of experience with innovative techniques to help our Seattle patients achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

What is Acne Scar Revision?

Acne scar revision is a cosmetic treatment that aims to reduce or eliminate those stubborn acne scars that can linger long after breakouts have cleared. These scars can vary from shallow pits to deeper indentations, making them a challenge to treat. Our approach involves a combination of techniques tailored to your unique needs, maximizing results in a single visit.

The Challenges of Treating Acne Scars

Acne scars are as individual as you are. They come in different forms – boxcar, icepick, rolling, and hypertrophic – each requiring a specific approach. These scars often involve tissue loss, resulting in depressions that are difficult to correct with traditional methods. The key lies in carefully removing scar tissue without causing further damage. Dr. Young excels at this, personalizing treatments to address each scar type for a smoother, more even complexion.

Benefits of Our Acne Scar Revision Treatment

  • Personalized Approach: Your treatment plan is tailored to your specific scar types and patterns.
  • Single-Session Results: We aim to achieve significant improvements in just one visit.
  • Minimally Invasive: Our techniques minimize downtime and discomfort.
  • Improved Skin Texture: We not only reduce scar visibility but also enhance your overall skin texture.
  • Boosted Confidence: Many of our patients report feeling more confident and comfortable in their own skin after treatment.

Dr. Young’s Three-Step Approach 

Our acne scar revision treatment involves a unique three-step process, all performed in a single session:

  1. Excision: This involves the precise removal of specific scar tissue, particularly for deep scars like icepick scars. By carefully excising individual scars, we create a smoother surface for healing and minimize visible traces.
  2. Resurfacing: After excision, we use techniques like laser resurfacing or dermabrasion to remove the outer layer of damaged skin cells. This encourages the growth of new, healthy skin, reducing the appearance of surface-level scars and improving overall texture and tone.
  3. Volumizing: Acne scars often create depressions in the skin due to tissue loss. We use advanced fillers or fat transfer techniques to restore lost volume, creating a natural, youthful look and further minimizing scar visibility.
