Physical and emotional impact of acne scars

Acne scars can be traumatic for a young person. The physical scars can have deep emotional and psychological impact carried into adulthood. Dr. Young understands the impact of acne scarring and has developed different approaches that can help you. After treating your physical scars, you can begin the process of improving your emotional and psychological scars.

Changing those scars that you've had for years can change your life. Dr. Young discovered a new theory on facial beauty and understands the power of beauty. Why is beauty so important to us? According to Dr. Young, it comes down to our appreciation for order. We want order in our lives because it makes us happy. Beauty is order in the face. With acne scars, this order is highly disrupted. Reducing your scars can bring some of this order back and many of the benefits of beauty.

Why choose a facial plastic surgeon?

Facial plastic surgeons devote 100% of their practice to the plastic surgery of the face and neck. Dr. Young’s training was based on a head and neck surgery residency and he learned from some of the best facial plastic surgeons in the world.

An understanding of the face and neck areas allow surgeons like Dr. Young to be better surgeons. A facial plastic surgeon is more apt to handle the surgical approaches to acne scars. Dr. Young is double board certified in laser surgery.

Dr. Young's Theory of Beauty

Dr. Young’s most groundbreaking achievement occurred during his fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery when he discovered a new theory on facial beauty. After extensive training, he noticed less than optimal results from some of the best surgeons in the world.

Why was that? What was happening? Dr. Young discovered that the goals the surgeons were striving for had inadequacies, allowing room for improvement. With facial plastic surgery, understanding the aesthetics of the face is so important. He discovered that the prevailing theories of beauty were flawed.

Dr. Young spent four years refining his thoughts culminating in his new theory on facial beauty called the Circles of Prominence. This groundbreaking theory received the Sir Harold Delf Gillies Award for best basic science research paper from Dr. Young’s peers at the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2005. Since that time, his theory has been acclaimed across the world.

Acne Scarring

The anatomy of the skin and what you see is the most superficial part of the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue. Hair follicles and acne can extend very deep within the skin. Acne disease around the hair follicle involves multiple layers in the skin. Laser resurfacing only treats the epidermis and levels of the dermis. That means a large part of the skin involving acne scarring is not treated.

A multi-layered approach to combat this issue is vital to improve acne scars. The acne scar vitalizer treatment has major advantages with its five to seven steps that treat all layers of the skin and individual scars. Each scar has its own unique issues to deal with. The acne scar vitalizer treatment takes two hours and can treat ice pick scars, boxcar scars, depressed scars, elevated scars, and pigmented scars.

Steps to improving acne scarring

Prior to a resurfacing procedure, Dr. Young may suggest making more significant changes such as excisions (cutting scars away), subcision (elevating depressed scars), tissue grafting into depressed scars and to add volume to the tissues under the scars. Adding volume to the tissues can elevate depressed scars and improve their appearance. It allows the skin to heal and recover from the constant action from the muscles in the face.

The Acne Scar Vitalizer Technique involves using tissues from your own body along with subcision-like techniques and the use of top of the line lasers together in one treatment. This new technique involves 10-14 steps all done in about 2-3 hours. Most of the patients in our Acne Scar Treatment Before and After Image / Photo Gallery have attained those results with just one treatment.

“My goal was to find a method to bring back a person’s natural youthfulness without the operated, unnatural look and that is why I have my patients bring in photos of them when they were age 5 to 30. My YoungVitalizer helps restore natural and youthful contours they haven’t seen in years.”

Healing Process

In the first week, you will be swollen and bruised. It improves tremendously after a week. However, the redness in your skin may persist for a couple of weeks. You can usually wear makeup after seven days. The Acne Scar Vitalizer Treatment will make serious changes to your skin. It is normal to expect your body needing time to heal. The average is that 70% of your healing will be completed in the first six weeks and 90% in the first six months. The laser resurfacing part may be the most challenging part of the healing.

How quickly you recover depends on the procedure and your reaction to it. Fat grafting can be more involved with acne scar treatment because Dr. Young takes the fat from other parts of your body and transfers it to your face affected by the scar. The average is a week or so depending on how extensively the fat grafting being done.

Deep chemical peeling takes a week for the skin to heal over while the pink color can persist for a few weeks. Laser resurfacing takes at least a week with traditional deep skin resurfacing. Newer technologies with Active and Deep FX have shortened recovery of about four or five days. Laser resurfacing can have persistent redness that lingers for a few weeks. The redness can be covered up with makeup after a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the treatment surgical?

No. The acne scar vitalizer treatment requires no facial incisions. We may advocate some excisions to improve your scars. This procedure is done in a minimally invasive manner.

Is general anesthesia involved?

No. We can perform the treatment with intravenous sedation.

Will it work?

We strongly believe that this treatment will improve your acne. It depends on your specific situation and the condition of your skin. If your acne scarring is bad enough, we can get some improvement done.

What is the best laser for acne scarring?

The best laser to treat acne scarring depends on what you are trying to treat. Red pigmentation could benefit from intense pulse light or the V beam that targets red vessels. For scars, CO2 laser resurfacing is the best option. We like to do dermabrasion with the CO2 resurfacing to get at some of the scars. According to the people we’ve talked to and online resources, the non-invasive lasers do not make a big change and a waste of your time and money.

With his CO2 laser resurfacing, Dr. Philip Young has a special technique that he terms “graduated CO2 laser acne resurfacing treatment,” which can target the depressed scars and allow them to elevate to the rest of the skin.

What makes the vitalizer treatment different?

We use a multilayered approach to acne scar treatment getting to the deeper layers. We create an environment that allows skin to regenerate. We treat the deeper layers and allow the skin to reconstruct the scars.

We shock the skin from the top with laser resurfacing at the same time. We have tried different combinations of treatments over the years and have fine-tuned our process to create the acne scar vitalizer treatment. We believe our vitalizer treatment is one of the best options available to you. Dr. Young loves to help people and is excited about this approach!
