Skin Rejuvenation
If you want to
improve the appearance of your skin, skin
rejuvenation or resurfacing may be right for you.
Skin rejuvenation can be achieved in a number of
ways, ranging from laser, light and other
energy-based treatments to chemical peels and other
non-ablative methods. The result is a smoother,
clearer and more youthful appearance to your skin.
What can skin rejuvenation treat?
Skin rejuvenation is a treatment to resurface your
skin, or to improve the texture, clarity and overall
appearance of your skin. Conditions that can be
treated include:
Static wrinkles
These wrinkles are visible at all times and do
not change in appearance with facial movements.
Dynamic wrinkles: These are expression lines that
may appear as folds when the skin is not moving, and
deepen with facial movements or expressions.
Pigmentation: Freckles, sun spots, melasma, or other
darkened patches of skin result mainly from sun
exposure. Scars: As the result of acne or injury to
the skin, scars may be rolling (a wavy appearance to
the skin), pitted, discolored, or have raised
borders. Vascular conditions: Blood vessels visible
on the surface of the skin, vascular lesions that
appear as tiny blood filled blisters or even a
constant flush of facial redness.
Loss of skin tone: Weakening of the supportive
skin structure (collagen and elastin fibers) that
results in a loss of skin firmness, or the
development of cellulite.
Is it right for me?
While not as involved as surgical cosmetic
procedures, skin rejuvenation is a medical
procedure. You should do it for yourself, not to
fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any
sort of ideal image. Skin rejuvenation is an option
for you if:
- You are physically healthy
- You don’t smoke
- You have a positive outlook and specific, but
realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your
appearance.
