| Skin Resurfacing |
 Skin resurfacing employs a variety of techniques to change the surface texture and appearance of the skin. Common skin resurfacing techniques include chemical peels, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion techniques and laser technologies.Skin resurfacing peels correct a variety of skin imperfections such as blemishes, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation. They exfoliate the outer layers of the skin revealing improved tone, texture and color. In addition to full facial rejuvenation, certain types of skin peels can also be used for spot treatments and the elimination of wrinkles. Microdermabrasion Peel is safe and effective for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and overall skin maintenance for all skin types. It is ideal for inclusion in our Photofacial laser protocol. Depth: Surface Surface Acid Peels release the build up of dead cells causing the skin to appear rough, dull and aged. Glycolic Acid works by helping the skin loosen the excess accumulation of dead skin cells to a natural rate of exfoliation. Other peels such as argnine, lactic or salicylic may be utilized and offer equally healthy results. Depth: Surface TCA Peel is often referred to as a 'freshening peel'. Trichloroacetic Acid is a non-toxic chemical which causes the surface layers of damaged skin cells to loosen and peel away, exposing the soft new cells below while also improving wrinkles.
