Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is a term for various non-surgical treatments designed to improve the skin’s appearance and texture. Whether it’s through the application of specially formulated solutions, like chemical peels, or through energy-based methods such as radiofrequency microneedling, the aim is to gently remove the outer layer of skin to reveal a fresher, smoother surface beneath. The process focuses on the targeted treatment of specific skin issues, without the downtime or invasive measures associated with surgical alternatives. 

What Can Skin Resurfacing Do for Your Skin?

Improved Skin Elasticity

Skin resurfacing can stimulate collagen production, which can in turn enhance the skin’s elasticity. This can make your skin feel firmer and appear more youthful.

Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The treatment helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting new skin cell growth, giving you a smoother complexion.

Even Skin Tone

Skin resurfacing can target areas of hyperpigmentation, reducing dark spots and creating a more balanced skin tone. This is particularly beneficial for those dealing with age spots or sun damage.

Minimize Pore Size

Post-treatment, you’ll likely notice that your pores appear smaller. This is due to the tightening effect skin resurfacing can have on the skin’s surface.

Reduced Acne Scars

By encouraging the skin to regenerate, skin resurfacing can diminish the visibility of acne scars, making them less prominent over time.

Smoother Skin Texture

Removing the outer layer of skin helps to eliminate surface irregularities, resulting in a noticeably smoother skin texture.

What Skin Resurfacing Treatments Do We Offer?

Secret™ RF Microneedling

Secret™ RF Microneedling is a device that elevates microneedling treatments by adding radiofrequency energy. Fine needles penetrate the skin to a controlled depth, where they then release radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening. This method allows for targeted treatment of various skin issues, ensuring optimal results. It is one of the most effective resurfacing skin treatments available, designed to rejuvenate your skin with minimal downtime.

Who Is This Treatment For?

This treatment is suitable for individuals who want to address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. It is versatile enough to be used on all skin types and can be customized to address specific skincare needs.

What Are the Benefits?

• Minimal Downtime: Unlike some skin resurfacing options, this treatment involves minimal disruption to your daily life.
• Collagen Stimulation: The use of radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen, contributing to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
• Versatility: This treatment can address a range of skin issues, from wrinkles to scarring, making it a comprehensive solution for many skin concerns.

DiamondGlow®

DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of skin-specific serums all in one treatment. Utilizing a diamond-tip wand, the device exfoliates dead skin cells and simultaneously infuses the skin with customized serums. This allows for direct nourishment to the newly exposed layer of skin, offering immediate and long-lasting results. As a multipurpose solution, DiamondGlow® stands out among facial skin resurfacing options.

Who Is This Treatment For?

DiamondGlow® is an excellent choice for individuals looking to address multiple skin issues such as dryness, dullness, or minor imperfections. It is appropriate for most skin types and is especially beneficial for those seeking immediate results without downtime.

What Are the Benefits?

• Simultaneous Actions: One of the unique aspects of DiamondGlow® is that it exfoliates, extracts, and infuses all at once, making it a time-efficient skin resurfacing treatment.
• Customization: The treatment allows for the use of specialized serums that can be tailored to your specific skin needs, offering targeted results.
• Immediate Improvement: Because DiamondGlow® acts on the surface layer of the skin while also infusing nourishing serums, many patients see an immediate improvement in their skin’s appearance and texture.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel involves the application of a chemical solution to the surface of the skin to remove the damaged outer layers. This skin resurfacing treatment is designed to accelerate skin cell turnover, revealing a refreshed, smooth layer beneath. The chemical solutions used can range from mild to strong, depending on your specific skin care needs.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Chemical peels are well-suited for those looking to address issues such as fine lines, sun damage, mild scarring, and acne. They can be used on most skin types and are particularly effective for people seeking a more dramatic improvement in their skin’s appearance and texture.

What Are the Benefits?

• Accelerated Cell Turnover: By removing the damaged outer layer of skin, chemical peels encourage new cell growth which can lead to significant results.
• Variable Strength: The option to choose from mild to strong solutions ensures that you receive a treatment that fits your specific skin concerns, making it a flexible choice among resurfacing skin treatments.
• Texture Improvement: After undergoing a chemical peel, you’ll notice a significant improvement in your skin’s texture, which will feel smoother and appear more even.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a handheld tool similar to a razor or scalpel that is used to scrape away dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the top surface of the skin. This treatment aims to reveal a smoother, brighter skin surface, making it a simpler but effective method for facial skin resurfacing.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Dermaplaning is particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or those who prefer a mechanical exfoliation method over chemical-based treatments. It’s an excellent option for those looking to achieve immediate improvement in skin brightness and smoothness through skin resurfacing.

What Are the Benefits?

• Instant Brightening: One of the immediate benefits of dermaplaning is a brighter complexion, achieved by removing the dull, dead skin cells from the surface.
• Enhanced Product Absorption: With the removal of the surface layer of skin, your skincare products can penetrate more effectively, maximizing their benefits as a skin resurfacing treatment.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Dermaplaning offers a less invasive way to refresh your skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or particular skin conditions that may not tolerate chemical peels or other treatments.
