Nearly everyone experiences some degree of skin texture and tone irregularities due to factors like chronic sun exposure, skin disorders, diet, aging, and genetics. Although uneven skin texture is completely normal, many people seek a smoother, more even complexion. Over time, it’s also common for the skin to lose collagen and elastin, leading to a decrease in firmness and the loss of that youthful glow. Skin resurfacing treatments can help restore a more youthful appearance to the skin.
Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Given the variety of issues that can affect the skin’s surface, there are numerous treatments available that target different aspects of skin resurfacing. These include laser resurfacing, mechanical resurfacing, and chemical resurfacing, all of which are commonly used to improve fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and discoloration. These treatments can be applied to the entire face or specific areas such as the neck, hands, or around the eyes.
Choosing the best treatment for your needs should be based on a thorough consultation. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our skin specialists, who can answer your questions and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Achieving Optimal Results
Many patients find that a multi-modality approach yields the best results. A series of sessions is often required to achieve significant improvements from skin resurfacing treatments. However, maintaining a good skincare routine is crucial for long-lasting results. This includes protecting your skin with appropriate skincare products and SPF, which helps preserve the benefits of your resurfacing procedures. Also quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet low in sugar but high in healthy fats such as the mediteranean diet will help slow the aging process and maintain your skin health.
What Skin Resurfacing Can Address
While no treatment can completely halt the signs of aging, skin resurfacing can significantly improve your skin’s tone and texture, enhancing your confidence. Skin resurfacing can address:
Superficial lines and wrinkles
Pigmentation issues such as sunspots, acne scars, freckles, or dark patches
Scars from injuries or acne
Vascular conditions like broken capillaries or facial redness
Loss of skin tone due to weakened collagen and elastin
Dull skin lacking the vibrancy of youth
Every patient is unique, with different skin types, genetic factors, and lifestyle habits. We will customize skincare treatments to address the specific combination of environmental and genetic signs of aging affecting your skin.
Our Skin Resurfacing Services
Microneedling: Also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that improves the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, acne, scarring, and stretch marks. This procedure stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin. We use the FDA-approved Skin Stylus here at Luxe Nova Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Concord, New Hampshire.
Harmony XL Pro ClearLift: ClearLift is a highly effective, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment utilizing advanced Q-Switched Nd laser technology. It addresses concerns such as acne, varicose veins, fine lines, sunspots, and skin laxity without downtime.
Opus Plasma: Using Alma’s proprietary Fractional Plasma technology, Opus Plasma is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, and texture with less downtime than traditional laser treatments.
Choosing the Right Treatment
With so many effective options available, it can be challenging to know where to start. We will assess your concerns and recommend the best treatment based on your goals. Schedule a consultation to explore your options.
Are You a Good Candidate for Skin Resurfacing?
If you’re in good health, not pregnant, and are unhappy with your skin’s texture, tone, or elasticity, you may be an excellent candidate for skin resurfacing. However, if you have severe skin conditions that require medical treatment, such as sunburns, rashes, or eczema, these should be addressed first.
Treatment Sessions and Recovery
Your treatment plan will depend on which combination of services you choose and your desired results. Some clients may see a difference in their skin after just one of these treatments, but optimal results commonly take several visits. When you meet with Sarah during your consultation, we will examine all the areas you’d like to treat, explain all your options and answer any questions you might have. The recommended treatments for each specialized service are as follows:
Microneedling: Most patients book three sessions to achieve their optimal results.
ClearLift: For best results, you will need three to six treatments at intervals of 2-3 weeks.
Opus Plasma: Visible results after as few as one treatment, with optimal results after a completed series (2-3 treatments).
While some patients notice improvements after just one session, optimal results usually require multiple visits. Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, from minimal downtime with ClearLift to a few days with microneedling and Opus Plasma. When you come in for your consultation, we customize a skin treatment plan based on your skin and goals and answer all the questions you may have.
