Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Dermapen
One of the most advanced techniques used to eliminate fine wrinkles, treat acne scarring, discoloration of aging and greatly improve skin texture. Microneedling is the specific technique performed by the Dermapen device to transform the facial skin to its more youthful nature with a few thorough treatments.
ViPeel
The outer layer of the dermal surface of the skin is the epidermis which possesses many cell layers genetically designed to protect the body from the atmosphere. Over time the environment, genetics and personal behavior will cause damage to these most important layers of skin. Age and the environment slow down the process of exfoliating and rejuvenating the outer skin layers which result in the clinical manifestations of “looking older”. The ViPeel uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) 7%, Salicylic Acid 2%, Retinoid Acid 8%, Phenol, Glycolic Acid, and Vitamin C. Retin-A is a proven wrinkle fighter while TCA relieves fine wrinkles and surface blemishes. These chemicals will dissolve those damaged outer layers of epidermis in order to allow new and rejuvenating cell growth.
Chemical Peels
There are many other mild acids that are used to exfoliate the epidermal layers of the skin in order to promote a more youthful skin appearance. Trichloroacetic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Lactic Acids can all be used to exfoliate at different levels depending on the skin type and the results desired.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Lasers are frequently used to melt or vaporize the skin cells stimulating the regrowth of those cells to a more youthful presentation. Because the skin presents itself with many pigments of color the laser light is attracted to the various pigments of color and will vaporize those specific colors depending on the origin of the laser light. One of the more common types of lasers used is the CO2 laser. Not only will the laser exfoliate the skin it will also stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin in order to make the skin more youthful and have a different glow.
