Treating Facial Scars

Aesthetic confidence can be hard to come by when you have facial scars. Acne, trauma, or surgery can leave you with marks that distract from your full beauty. Fortunately, there is an array of treatments that can reduce facial scars and, in some cases, eliminate them almost entirely. At The Piazza Center in Austin, Texas, practice founder Dr. Rocco Piazza has helped countless patients by greatly reducing the visibility of their facial scars.

Scar Therapy: An Overview

When it comes to facial scars, a plastic surgeon offers a comprehensive approach that a dermatologist or a beauty spa just isn’t equipped to match. In addition to skin-level treatments like laser resurfacing, dermaplaning, and chemical peels, plastic surgeons like Dr. Piazza can surgically reduce the size of certain scars, depending on the size, quality, and age of the scar. 

The Piazza Center stands out because patients interested in facial scar therapy can undergo A Visia Skin Analysis, a high-tech skin assessment system that uses advanced imaging technology to analyze the condition of the skin.

Visia Skin Consultation For Scar Therapy

With a Visia Skin Consultation, Dr. Piazza can capture images of scars and analyze their depth, texture, and color. With this information, he and his highly-trained team can recommend the most effective solutions for your scar repair. Often this is some combination of laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, and surgical revision. By using Visia skin consultation for scar repair, The Piazza Center patients receive a more personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs and skin type.

Dr. Piazza’s Approach To Non-Surgical Treatment

The Piazza Center stands out as a forward-thinking aesthetic practice because Dr. Piazza and his staff are aligned on providing comprehensive care when it comes to skin treatments. Dr. Piazza and the Piazza Center team assess each patient in three key areas for nonsurgical visits. 

  • Skin texture and tone
  • Muscle movement
  • Bone and fat composition

These three key elements work together to inform how your face looks and feels. Addressing only one of the three will not result in satisfactory results, rather, treating all layers in harmony garners the most success. If each area isn’t carefully tended to, results may make you look unnatural or aged. At The Piazza Center, the goal is always to maximize each patient’s investment and provide them with results that allow them to Live Confidently.

Surgical Scar Revision

While it may seem counterintuitive, one powerful solution to reducing scars involves surgically reducing the troublesome scar tissue. Though any incision will leave a scar, Dr. Piazza can ensure that the new scar is smaller, cleaner, and much less noticeable than the original scar. This procedure can be done in-office and requires only a local numbing agent for most patients. Once the incision heals, the new scar will fade over time.

Laser Resurfacing

Using concentrated laser technology, Dr. Piazza and his team at The Piazza Center can safely resurface the skin, smoothening scars caused by acne, surgery, or accidents. Dr. Piazza hand-selected the most advanced laser skin resurfacing systems on the market, including BroadBand light therapy (BBL) with Forever Young BBL™, BBL HERO®, Erbium Profractional, NanoLaserPeel, and MicroLaserPeel. Each is designed to allow for a targeted skin treatment that reduces the appearance of scars and other blemishes with little to no discomfort and minimal downtime.

Forward-Thinking Aesthetic Care

Dr. Piazza believes that combining therapies is a powerful and effective way to address skin issues. After carefully considering your skin condition, needs, and aesthetic goals, Dr. Piazza can identify which treatments can work in concert to deliver the best possible results. This departs from the old standard of hyper-focusing on one area for treatment.

Dr. Piazza and his team at The Piazza Center have seen time and again how combination skin therapy is exponentially more powerful than stand-alone treatments.
