Facial scarring can be one of the most frustrating skin flaws – especially with age, as scars begin to look more prominent due to collagen loss. As an expert plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Schmidt offers advanced surgical and non-surgical scar revision techniques to help his patients look and feel their best. If older scars have been troubling you for years, learn how you can finally say goodbye to them.
Surgical Scar Revision
Dr. Schmidt’s extensive experience with scar revision techniques allows him to address a wide range of scars, alleviating a source of significant embarrassment and discomfort for many patients.
In some cases, Dr. Schmidt will excise the old scar tissue and reshape the surrounding skin, allowing it to heal cleanly. For jagged or raised scars, Dr. Schmidt may decide to use skin resurfacing via dermabrasion, which involves removing rough, uneven scar tissue to allow healthy, new skin to take its place.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced non-surgical treatment that can simultaneously resolve multiple issues, including scarring, wrinkles, discoloration, and uneven skin tone. Dr. Schmidt uses the cutting-edge PicoSure laser to deliver brief, intense energy pulses into your skin. He is one of the first physicians in the greater Denver area to offer this state-of-the-art, zero-downtime laser technology for skin rejuvenation. PicoSure is a versatile, FDA-approved laser that is safe for all skin types.
Fillers
Dermal fillers can rejuvenate your face without recovery time or activity restrictions, minimizing scars and other flaws like wrinkles and volume loss. Dr. Schmidt can help you choose which filler, or combination of fillers, is the appropriate solution for addressing your concerns.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is an advanced exfoliation technique that is customizable for your needs. It involves applying a blend of chemicals to your skin, leaving it on for a set period, then neutralizing it. After a peel, your complexion will have a healthy, even texture with a luminous glow. Dr. Schmidt offers three levels of chemical peels – light, medium, and deep. A deep peel is a more aggressive treatment that can provide correspondingly more dramatic results, but it requires sedation and approximately two weeks of downtime.
Experience Your Skin at Its Best
Whether you are pursuing scar revision procedures for functional or cosmetic purposes, Dr. Schmidt understands your motivation to seek an improvement. As a double board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeon who has chosen to focus his practice solely on facial plastic and reconstructive procedures, Dr. Schmidt understands how scars can affect your self-image and well-being.
