Promising New Treatment for Acne Scaring, Collagen Induction Therapy, Brings Hope says Leading Massachusetts Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgeon
As Americans are searching for new ways of eliminating facial blemishes and imperfections, a plastic surgeon out of Worcester, Massachusetts introduces an innovative procedure in the battle against the worst of acne scaring. The new minimal-invasive plastic surgery technique called Collagen Induction Therapy promises help for acne scar sufferers even after all other measures have failed.

Pockmark-like acne scars of the face can be distressing for people affected making them conscious about their facial appearance and lowering their self-esteem. A new minimal-invasive technique called Collagen Induction Therapy helps these people, even in desperate situations where all other measures have failed. Although many medical treatments are available today to treat active acne, the outlook of no help for patients left with unsightly scars after their acne has abated can be discouraging.
Dr. Fechner (http://www. drfechner. com (http://www. drfechner. com)) is one of the only facial plastic surgeons in the U. S. to offer this pioneering procedure. By introducing thousands of microscopically tiny puncture clefts in the scarred skin, Dr. Fechner is able to lay ground for smoother and healthier skin. With this technique, Dr. Fechner is able to break up the old acne scars and induce the natural production of a new network of collagen, which represents the main component of healthy skin.
“Many patients with profound acne scarring have undergone various procedures without satisfactory improvement,” explains facial plastic surgeon Dr. Fechner. “Collagen Induction Therapy offers new hope for these sufferers of severe acne scarring.”
Dr. Fechner performs the procedure under sterile conditions in the office or in the surgical suite, but general anesthesia is not necessary. The time needed for recovery is less than one week and patients can expect the full benefit of the procedure to be apparent after three months.
“In the past, we used to remove the top layers of the skin with a laser or by other means hoping that this would improve the deep acne scars,” says Dr. Fechner. “Our Collagen Induction Therapy is revolutionary because it leaves the skin surface intact but works deeper where the scars are actually located. This allows for a speedy recovery and initiates the body’s own collagen-production for a long-lasting improvement.”
Dr. Fechner is a cosmetic facial plastic surgeon based in Worcester, Massachusetts. (http://www. drfechner. com/worcester-plastic-surgeon. htm (http://www. drfechner. com/worcester-plastic-surgeon. htm))
