Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face, hands, neck and chest to smooth texture, reduce scarring and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. There are three different types of chemical peels: alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. They range in strength from mild to strong and are each designed to provide different results, depending on a patient’s skin condition.
A chemical peel can be used to effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, freckles, scarring and blotchiness, as well as improve skin tone and texture by removing damaged layers of skin. This procedure is also now performed on younger patients looking to prevent the signs of aging from appearing too early. A chemical peel can be combined with laser treatment for optimal results.
It is important for patients to follow their doctor’s instructions after the peel and to avoid prolonged sun exposure in order to maximize the results of their chemical peel.
Acne Facial
Our acne facials are designed to be a helpful addition to the typical topical medications, oral antibiotics, and hormonal treatments that are prescribed. Our program has been created to be well tolerated by most acne prone skin types helping to decrease breakouts, improve pigmentation and acne scarring. The procedure done in our office includes cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating steps to improve the health and appearance of the skin. Talk to your doctor to see if an acne facial is right for your skin.↓
Micro-Needling
Micro-needling is a procedure that rejuvenates and improves the appearance of the skin. It mainly targets fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Micro-needling induces the production of collagen by rapidly puncturing the skin with small needles that glide smoothly across the treatment area. Skin health and appearance can be improved with this treatment as new skin grows to replace damaged skin. Results can often be seen within a short period of time.↓
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Post- Procedure
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be applied to the skin after various procedures such as micro-needling, to aid in the healing process and stimulate skin regrowth. PRP is extracted by drawing blood from the patient and spinning the blood in a centrifuge to separate the growth-factor rich plasma from the remaining blood. The plasma is then applied to the face following the micro-needling procedure. The growth factors in the plasma promote wound healing and facial rejuvenation.
