Acne Scar Resurfacing Surgery
Dr. Davis has combined tumescent anesthesia (to numb the skin), subcision (a process of going under the skin and undermining and loosening adhesions beneath the scars using a micro dissector), TCA chemical peels, and laser treatments to address all types of acne scars. While the combined approach sounds complicated, it actually allows greater improvement in a single visit without any more downtime or risk. In most cases, the entire treatment for facial acne scarring can be completed in about 2 ½ hours of treatment time, and with just 1-2 weeks of recovery time.
