What Is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing is a highly effective cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the skin’s appearance and health. At its core, skin resurfacing is about renewing the skin’s surface, giving it a fresher, more youthful look. This treatment works by gently removing the outer layers of skin, which are often damaged by sun exposure, aging, or other environmental factors. In doing so, it reveals the newer, smoother skin beneath.

Benefits of Skin Resurfacing

Enhanced Texture and Smoothness

Skin resurfacing significantly enhances the texture of your skin, making it smoother and softer to the touch. This improvement is achieved by removing the outer layers of skin, thereby reducing roughness and imparting a more refined and polished appearance.

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The treatment excels in minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a common concern as skin ages. It stimulates the production of collagen, a vital protein that plumps up the skin, smoothing out these age-related lines and creases for a more youthful look.

Minimizing Acne Scars

For those troubled by acne scars, skin resurfacing offers substantial benefits. The process helps visibly reduce the appearance of acne scars, leading to smoother skin and a more consistent texture.

Non-Invasive With Minimal Downtime

Unlike more invasive skin procedures, skin resurfacing is a non-invasive option with minimal downtime. This makes it an ideal choice for people with busy lifestyles looking for effective skin treatments with limited recovery time.

Customizable Treatment

Each skin resurfacing session is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual. This customization ensures that the treatment is effective and aligned with personal skincare objectives.

Skin Resurfacing Treatments

Chemical Peels

Our Chemical Peels involve the application of a specialized solution to the skin, which works by exfoliating the outer layers. This process not only improves the texture and appearance of the skin but also stimulates the natural regeneration process. Ideal for addressing issues like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and acne scars, our chemical peels are available in different strengths to cater to various skin types and concerns.

Our chemical peels include the GTZ 15% peel, a very superficial peel that removes the skin’s uppermost layer. We also offer superficial peels, including Jessner’s, TCA 20%, and a Salicylic Acid 30% peel. Our medium-depth peel is a TCA 30% peel that can exfoliate deeper layers of skin.

Very Light Chemical Peels: GTZ Acne Peel

Our very light peels deliver mild exfoliation and only injure the stratum corneum. These peels contain 15% glycolic acid, 15% Trichloroacetic acid, and 2% zinc. They can be applied every two weeks for the best results and can help patients manage acne and treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and redness, and they can speed up medical acne treatments. Patients can expect a very mild stinging or burning upon application and minimal downtime, typically one to two days, for a full recovery.

Light Chemical Peels

The light chemical peels contain Trichloroacetic acid 20%, Jessner’s, and Salicylic Acid 30%. These light-depth peels injure the entire epidermis and promote the regeneration of new epithelium. These peels can be applied every six weeks to treat mild photoaging and epidermal lesions, including lentigines, keratoses, melasma, and pigmentary dyschromia. Patients can expect mild stinging or burning during application and minimal downtime, typically seven days for recovery.

Enhancing Your Results With Dermal Fillers and Neuromodulators

Enhancing the effects of your skin resurfacing treatments can be achieved with the complementary use of cosmetic injectables. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under-eye region, effectively smoothing wrinkles and restoring facial contours for a youthful appearance. 

Neuromodulators work by relaxing facial muscles and reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, particularly around the forehead and eyes. We can also use neuromodulators like BOTOX® to enhance your results by smoothing expression lines on the upper half of the face.

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Ideal for reducing the appearance of scars, pore size, and stretch marks, this treatment also enhances the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Adding PRP or PRF to Your Treatment Plan

We can supplement your SkinPen microneedling treatment with PRP or PRF, concentrated platelets derived from a standard blood draw. By applying them to your skin during and after the microneedling treatment, the microchannels created by the SkinPen can absorb the growth factors, enhancing your treatment results.
