Dr. Mark Taylor, a board certified dermatologist at the Gateway Aesthetic Institute & Laser Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, has developed a new method for treating acne scars that is showing tremendous results. The treatment combines several proven acne scar treatment methods into a more potent, single session. The multi-step process combines tumescent anesthesia (to swell and numb the skin), extensive subcision (to release scar tissue creating divots and pits), chemical peeling, laser resurfacing and Fraxel Repair Laser treatment. Dr. Taylor even designed a custom surgical tool, and then had it manufactured, to better perform the extensive subcision portion of the procedure.
Dr. Taylor was invited to present the new technique last year to medical colleagues at the International Masters Course on Aging Skin in Paris, France. Dr. Taylor notes, "With this new combined treatment method, we have been achieving greater improvement, often 70+ percent improvement, in a single treatment."
