  • The treatment of sun damaged skin by reducing age spots and minimizing discoloration
  • Increasing collagen production causing new cell turnover that will reveal younger, healthier skin cells.
  • The improvement in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What Types of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments are there?

There are many types of skin rejuvenation procedures and they can all be performed with little to no downtime.

Laser Resurfacing

This procedure is used to treat age spots, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars and skin texture. Laser resurfacing uses fractionated laser columns to heat a certain area and stimulate a natural healing process that causes your body to work from the inside out replacing old, damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue. The number of treatments you will need will depend on what you and your doctor decide during your consultation since every individual’s skin is different.

Skin Tightening with Pelleve

Pelleve uses an advanced radiowave technology to expose the deep layers of the skin to heat to get the collagen to contract and tighten. There is no downtime experienced while new collagen is slowly being produced resulting in better skin quality and firmness.
Skin Rejuvenation with Light and/or Laser

Using the Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or the Q-Switch laser, which works wonders on brown spots and pigmentation, light, can treat a host of skin conditions like scars, acne or loss of elasticity.

How Does It Work?

The most commonly used method is fractional laser technology where a laser beam is broken up into microscopic columns of light and when the columns hit the area to be targeted the surrounding skin is completely unaffected which means a faster healing process. Most skin resurfacing procedures are pretty comfortable especially since the doctors often put numbing cream or apply an anesthetic to the area before starting. Depending how big of an area you want to treatment the entire procedure can take between 15 minutes and an hour with the only side effects being mild swelling and redness for a day following treatment.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?

Like any type of medical procedure there is risk involved in skin rejuvenation though not nearly as much risk involved in other plastic surgery procedures. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, redness, skin discoloration, blistering and infection but many of these symptoms go away on their own.
