Time, sun, wind, and gravity all take their toll on
the skin. The laser is the ultimate technology for precise
aesthetic removal of deeper lines around the eyes, lips,
cheeks and forehead. Some facial scars can also be improved
with laser surgery. Dr. Price will review your medical
history, examine your skin type and pigmentation to
determine if laser resurfacing is appropriate for you.
Depending on one's goals, skin type and degree of skin
aging you may benefit from any one of a variety of chemical
peeling procedures. Different peeling agents will produce
different degrees of skin penetration resulting in variable
improvements in facial wrinkling and fine line improvement.
Dr. Price will review with you which peeling agent would
be best for you.
Dermabrasion is used to remove the epidermis and upper
dermal skin layers resulting in smoothing of irregularities
and camouflaging of facial scars. In some situations
it can be used for treatment of cystic acne, tattoo
removal, and excessive, thickened nasal and cheek skin.
Microdermabrasion removes superficial dead and flaking
skin cells resulting in almost immediate improvement
in overall skin texture and appearance plus improvement
of fine lines. The procedure is quick, simple and non-invasive.
IPL Rejuvenation (Intense Pulse Light) uses light of a specific wavelength, which acts, on dark areas such as vascular and pigmented areas. Since the IPL works selectively only on dark areas, the surrounding skin is not affected. Most patients receive their desired benefit in four to five sessions. Results can be achieved even sooner when used in conjunction with microdermabrasion. This will help with the shedding of the pigmented area and natural collagen production.
