Skin Rejuvenation

Uneven skin tone, sagging, and sun damage: three common problems for skin that don't have answers in a bottle. Even moisturizing, drinking eight cups of water daily, and using SPF products - all hallmarks of good skin care - aren't enough to stave off sags and wrinkles from aging, the rough texture of sun damage and scars, or a blotchy complexion. These effects can be counteracted with skin rejuvenation procedures which offer balanced technology to brighten and bring out healthier, rejuvenated skin.

• Discoloration FotoFacial combines sessions with an intense pulsed light and radio frequency device with microdermabrasion facials. The light/RF energy treatments focus on and lighten pigments in the skin like sun spots and age spots, while the microdermabrasion exposes the treated skin.
• Sagging and wrinkles Skin tightening treatments use alternating pulses of infrared heat and radio frequency to deep-heat tissue, boost collagen to lift, and tighten the surface skin.
• Damaged skin There is laser skin resurfacing, which uses a strong, specially filtered laser to penetrate beneath the skin and triggers a healing response in the lower layers of the skin. The developing skin naturally heals and lessens visible skin damage and scarring.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) energy is attracted to color, including skin pigments, and lightens that color in the skin, which improves things like freckling or the redness from. The IPL is alternated with radio frequency (RF), a stronger energy heightens the effect of the IPL on pigments. RF also produces heat, which causes the skin to contract and repair itself, which tightens skin and shrinks pores.

The full skin rejuvenation routine combines the light treatments with microdermabrasion, a deep exfoliating therapy which uses tiny crystals to buff skin clean and smooth. Microdermabrasion sloughs off the dull surface skin to expose the newly treated skin. Regular semiannual treatments maintain that effect, even if factors that cause discoloration - like smoking or sunbathing - continue.

Skin Tightening

Another area of skin rejuvenation improves sagging and wrinkles by increasing collagen production and using heat to cause skin to contract and appear tighter. Infrared light and RF energy penetrate and heat skin tissues. As with FotoFacial, this signals the skin to repair itself; the increased heat energy (infrared and RF) means that there is more of a healing response. The deep-tissue heat also boosts collagen production, which fills in wrinkles and firms sagging skin naturally. This kind of skin rejuvenation offers long-term benefits for firming sagging skin and wrinkles, with effects lasting as long as two years before needing maintenance.

Solutions for Skin Damage

For more extensive skin damage, the problem is texture, so the leathery look of sun damage or the roughness of scars needs a special approach. A new method of skin rejuvenation provides a non-chemical way to soften and smooth skin texture: Laser skin resurfacing using a fractional laser.

In laser skin resurfacing, a specialized laser penetrates deep into the tissue and injures the skin, which signals the tissue to heal itself, which repairs existing damage both on the surface skin (for immediate improvements in skin tone) and beneath the skin (to visibly lessen scars and damage). The laser is as strong as a chemical peel, and, at full impact, could cause similar blistering. A cap on the instrument filters the laser so that only tiny spots of skin are exposed to the laser, like water through a sieve. Enough of the laser is blocked that only about a quarter of the treatment area is actually treated, and the surrounding skin is untouched. This makes the healing process faster after each session, with only some redness and tenderness. After about five sessions, the entire area is treated. It can cause some lingering redness or discomfort, simply because of the method that triggers the healing process, but this usually only lasts one or two days. Once the treatment course (about five monthly sessions) is complete, the skin rejuvenation can take up to two years.
