Peeling, resurfacing, and augmentation procedures are equally important to one's appearance as day to day care of the skin of the face. A cosmetic surgeon can help you with skin care advice as well as products created for this purpose. Superficial peeling and resurfacing using such agents as glycolic acids and TCA peels are available through many plastic surgeons.

Plastic surgeons employ some of the latest and most effective methods of skin restoration available today. Only a qualified expert can provide such dermatological care. These processes use beautifying products that can remove any blemishes and discolorations while at the same time promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. The new cells will be rich in the natural chemicals that are necessary to make skin supple, yet strong.

Laser Skin Resurfacing 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. A cosmetic surgeon will review your medical history, examine your skin type and pigmentation to determine if laser resurfacing is appropriate for you.

Chemical Peels. 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. A plastic surgeon will review with you which peeling agent would be best for you.

Dermabrasion. 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. 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 simple, non-invasive, and quick.

IPL Photo Facial Rejuvenation. IPL Rejuvenation (Intense Pulse Light) uses light of a specific wavelength, which acts, on dark areas such as vascular and pigmented areas. The surrounding skin is not affected because the IPL works selectively only on dark areas. Most skin care 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.
