Microsurgical Treatment for Acne Scars


Microsurgical Treatment for Acne Scars is  a promising new therapy.

Dr. Carlo Alberto Pallaoro,  plastic surgery specialist in Padova(Italy) ,developed a new treatment for acne scars called Mosaic Surgery using  an innovative microsurgical drill (Trilix).

Microsurgical treatment is carried out under infiltrative local anaesthetic, removing scar tissue millimetre  by millimetre  in such a way as not to activate any considerable cicatrisation process.

The direct consequence of microsurgical treatment for acne scars  is the physiological cicatrisation process activated in order to seal the skin grafts, "open" during the surgical procedure.

To understand how microsurgical treatment for acne scars ( mosaic surgery) can "erase" a scar, it is perhaps useful to try to think of the body as a huge and marvelous mosaic composed of pieces of skin. Removal and replacement  of scar tisuue   can then be compared to a meticulous work of art.

"The scar tissue - said Dr. Carlo Alberto Pallaoro - is gradually removed with a precise high-speed drill (the Trilix) and replaced with  tiny pieces of dermis in perfect condition,  taken from skin areas "hidden" in the body (skin folds, armpits, ear lobe, etc.).
" Unlike traditional surgery, microsurgery
prevents an extended healing process, with the result that the scars, including extended scars, are removed without leaving significant marks". Is sufficient to apply a single patch surgery to remove after 7 / 10 days.

On average, the entire scar is treated in two to four sessions, performed at a distance of 15/20 days apart.

Sometimes it may be useful a pulsed CO2 laser peeling to refine the results of the sessions of mosaic surgery.

Normal activities may be resumed after an average of 7 days. The result of the microsurgical treatment for acne scars will be appreciated even after the first session. The scar will be gradually reduced. 

The tool that makes possible the microsurgical treatment for acne scars is the Trilix, a microsurgical drill at high speed (40,000 rpm) calibrated for export dermis of the diameter of only one millimeter.

The mosaic surgery and therapy fits all types of scars. To qualify for microsurgery is necessary, however, one condition: that the skin has not  a tendency to hypertrophic or cheloid scarring . A skin check-up will will exclude any risk of producing the unsightly scars..

No problem for hypertrophic scars: an excess of fibrous tissue may first be reduced surgically and treated subsequently with the microsurgery. Of course the removal of a scar can not happen in one sitting, but in more sessions, depending on the type and extent of the  scar. Typically, the surgical work is completed in 2-4 sessions of 30 minutes each, made at intervals of 15/20 days.
