aser resurfacing offers individuals dramatically softer, healthier-looking skin by smoothing wrinkles, scars and other blemishes.
It is a relatively new technology that is proving to be less abrasive to the skin than traditional treatments. Remarkably, the results of laser skin resurfacing are immediate, especially when used to remove fine to moderate wrinkles. The results are also long-lasting, as the resurfacing stimulates the skin to generate new skin cells as well as subsurface collagen.
Make sure to inquire about the new Erbium laser techniques, a quantum level of improvement over older CO2 laser resurfacing. The results are better and the healing time is much shorter than older techniques.
A chemical peel can make an individual look years younger by removing and softening age-related wrinkles and premature wrinkling caused by sun exposure. The Obagi Blue Chemical Peel is a medium depth peel that is ideally suited for younger patients with sun-damaged skin. The procedure evens the skin's texture by chemically removing the outer layers and encouraging the formation of new skin cells.
Depending on the degree of wrinkling, a light, medium, or deep peel may be recommended. The effects of chemical peeling are particularly pleasing when combined with a facelift, and the chemical peel is more economical than laser skin resurfacing.
Traditional dermabrasion is painful and requires a long healing process. It also includes a risk of infection and the possibility of unnatural-looking skin texture. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, relatively painless procedure used to minimize fine lines. In conjunction with a natural skin care program, microdermabrasion treatments can help diminish many skin imperfections such as sun or age spots and restore the glow and natural vitality of youthful skin.
DermaPeel is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as "the lunchtime peel" because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately. Used at exclusive European spas for over ten years, this unique skin rejuvenation technique has recently received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. The DermaPeel procedure uses highly controlled vacuum pressure to move microscopic abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, resulting in significant improvements in texture and color.
