Skin Resurfacing FAQ

Skin resurfacing is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the skin by removing damaged outer layers and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. This treatment can be performed using a variety of techniques, including lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion.

Laser skin resurfacing is a popular option that uses a laser to remove the outer layers of skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. The laser energy is absorbed by the skin, causing the outer layers to peel away and stimulating the production of collagen, which helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture.

  2. Hydrafacial

Chemical peels are another type of skin resurfacing treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove damaged outer layers and promote the growth of new, healthy skin. This treatment can be used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The strength and type of chemical peel used will depend on the patient’s individual skin concerns and goals.

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a special device to gently remove the outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath. This treatment can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. Our Hydrafacial is a great device for those looking for microdermabrasion! 

Morpheus8 Morpheus 8 is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This technology allows for deep penetration of the skin, targeting deeper layers of the skin than traditional microneedling treatments. By delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin, Morpheus 8 can stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment can also be used to target areas of loose or sagging skin, such as the jowls or neck. Morpheus 8 is a safe and effective treatment that can be customized to each patient’s unique skin concerns and goals.

Laser resurfacing treatments such as our Clear + Brilliant is a non-invasive laser treatment that is designed to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. This treatment uses a gentle laser to create millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, which stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a more youthful-looking complexion. Clear + Brilliant is also effective at reducing the appearance of pores and hyperpigmentation. Clear + Brilliant is suitable for all skin types and can be tailored to address specific concerns and goals.

Overall, skin resurfacing is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the skin without undergoing invasive surgery. By removing damaged outer layers of skin and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin, skin resurfacing treatments can help patients achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion. It is important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or another qualified healthcare professional to determine the best skin resurfacing treatment plan for each individual patient.
