Acne Scar Treatment – Bellevue / Seattle
Dr. Philip Young

Dr. Young has a rewarding experience treating patients who have acne scarring as well as maintaining their acne to avoid further scarring.

For acne prevention, Dr Young has a 4 step process which entails:

  1. Detailed skin care regimen
  2. Topical medical treatments
  3. Oral medications
  4. An array of chemical peels that can keep the acne controlled.

For acne scarring, he employs an assortment of techniques, including:

  • excisions (subcision, w plasty, z plasty, geometric line closures)
  • chemical peels (trichloroacetic acid, Jessner’s, Vitalase)
  • dermabrasion
  • fat injections
  • fillers
  • CO2 laser resurfacing

With his CO2 laser resurfacing, he has a special technique that he terms "Graduated CO2 Laser Acne Resurfacing Treatment," which can target the depressed scars preferentially to allow them to elevate to the level of the rest of the skin
