Scars tell a story—whether from an injury, surgery, or skin condition—but sometimes, they tell a story we’d rather not share. Dr. Mariam Awada, also known as Dr. Beauty, is a leading board-certified plastic surgeon in the Detroit, MI area who understands the deep impact scars can have on your confidence. At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, she has developed a unique approach to scar revision, one that doesn’t rely on a single method but instead combines multiple treatments to achieve the most natural, effective results possible.
The Power of Combination Treatments
When it comes to scar revision, no two scars—and no two patients—are alike. This means a one-size-fits-all approach just won’t cut it. Dr. Awada’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that combining treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, fillers, and chemical peels can deliver far superior results than any single treatment on its own.
For instance, laser scar revision can be incredibly effective at breaking down scar tissue and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin. However, when combined with microneedling, the skin’s natural healing process is supercharged, leading to even greater improvements in texture and appearance. Similarly, adding dermal fillers into the mix can help smooth out any unevenness, making the skin look more youthful and vibrant. Chemical peels can then be used to refine the skin’s surface, further enhancing the overall result.
Why Personalization Matters
One of the keys to success in scar revision is personalization. During your consultation, Dr. Beauty will take the time to carefully assess your scar, skin type, and overall goals. This thorough evaluation allows her to craft a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to you. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, or something else, this personalized approach ensures that every aspect of your treatment is optimized for the best possible outcome.
The Treatment Journey
When you arrive for your procedure, you’ll be in good hands. Michigan Cosmetic Surgery is equipped with the latest technology, ensuring that your treatments are both safe and effective. Dr. Beauty and her team will guide you through each step of the process, explaining what to expect and answering any questions you may have.
The procedure itself might involve several steps, depending on your treatment plan. For example, you might start with laser therapy to target the deeper layers of your skin, followed by microneedling to further stimulate collagen production. Next, fillers might be used to address any volume loss or irregularities, and a chemical peel could be applied to refine the skin’s surface. Each step is designed to complement the others, creating a harmonious result that looks and feels natural.
Recovery and Beyond
After your treatment, some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort is normal, but these effects are usually temporary. Dr. Beauty will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. It’s important to follow these guidelines closely to protect your skin and maximize the results of your treatment.
Over the weeks and months following your procedure, you’ll start to notice significant improvements in the appearance of your scar. The combination of treatments works synergistically, with each one enhancing the results of the others. And because the treatments are spaced out over time, your skin has the opportunity to heal and regenerate between sessions, leading to more enduring results.
A Path to Confidence
At the end of the day, scar revision isn’t just about changing how you look—it’s about changing how you feel. At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Beauty and her team are committed to helping you achieve a look that aligns with how you feel inside. Through the power of combination treatments, you can move beyond the scars of the past and embrace a future full of confidence.
