At GoodSkin, we utilize a scientifically-driven approach, ensuring our recommendations are tailored to your unique genetics and qualities rather than following fleeting trends or fads. To create a more naturally refreshed look, we may use a variety of treatments, including skin resurfacing.
Our science-based approach is designed to identify the essential areas necessary to achieve The Untouched Look™. We take the time to educate and work collaboratively to devise a treatment plan that will deliver the most natural, healthiest, and well-rested version of yourself.
While maintaining a diligent skincare routine and taking excellent care of your face is crucial, these cannot entirely prevent the natural signs of aging. Our skin gradually loses elasticity as we age, leading to drooping, deep creases, and fine lines. Although consistent moisturization and sun protection can slow down this process, wrinkles and other signs of aging are inevitable. In-office skin rejuvenation treatments can help revitalize areas impacted by aging, the elements, and injuries, providing a more refreshed, vibrant look.
Understanding Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing treatments offer a rejuvenating solution for a more youthful and radiant complexion. By gently eliminating the damaged outer layers of skin, these treatments unveil a healthier-looking layer beneath while stimulating the growth of fresh skin cells.
As time passes, our skin's outer layers endure the effects of aging, injuries, and environmental elements, leading to the emergence of wrinkles, scars, age spots, and discoloration. Skin resurfacing treatments effectively counteract these signs of aging and environmental stress, restoring a youthful appearance and promoting a healthier overall look.
Our GoodSkin practitioners employ diverse techniques for skin resurfacing, tailoring their approach to address a wide range of skin concerns. Some treatments may suit a client's needs better, and these options are provided only after a thorough diagnosis and the creation of a Healthy Aging Plan.
Treatment Types
Our non-surgical facial rejuvenation encompasses a range of treatments, such as injectable fillers, neurotoxins, skin tightening, and skin resurfacing. Practitioners often employ a combination of these treatments to achieve optimal and lasting results.
At GoodSkin, we focus on providing an authentic, refreshed look for each client. If skin resurfacing is part of your Healthy Aging Plan, you may encounter some treatment options mentioned below to help maintain your natural beauty.
Microneedling
At GoodSkin clinics, we offer microneedling with PRP. Administered at the "MD Depth," this treatment provides a powerful solution for addressing acne scars, enhancing skin texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure incorporates Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate healing and regenerate soft tissue, resulting in visibly brighter and more youthful skin.
PhotoPeel
This IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment offers a potent solution for those requiring a more robust approach to pigmentation concerns. By stimulating the melanocytes, this treatment facilitates the peel's effective adhesion to the pigment. It's ideal choice for treating challenging issues such as melasma and other difficult-to-treat pigment-related conditions.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
A large portion of skin resurfacing treatments involve laser components. No single laser can treat all skin concerns, so various tools are utilized for different skin types and results. Some of the procedures listed below may use CO2 lasers, fractional lasers, or other options to rejuvenate the skin. The two main types of laser skin resurfacing which laser treatment can be divided into are ablative and non-ablative.
Ablative
Ablative lasers remove the outer layers of skin, prompting new, healthier skin to grow in the treated area. The depth of laser penetration varies depending on the wavelength of light used. Your practitioner will carefully assess your skin type, diagnosis, and specific concerns to determine the most suitable laser application.
Morpheus8
Morpheus is an innovative non-invasive skin treatment that effectively combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. The procedure involves a handheld device equipped with tiny needles that gently penetrate the skin's surface, delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This powerful combination tightens and enhances the skin's overall appearance.
The microneedling aspect of the treatment creates small microchannels in the skin, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is crucial in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity, while elastin allows the skin to stretch and regain shape.
Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy used during the treatment improves skin elasticity and firmness. By reaching deep into the skin, the energy heats the underlying tissues, leading to the contraction of collagen fibers. This process effectively tightens and lifts the skin, visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks. Morpheus's microneedling and radiofrequency energy combination ensures a comprehensive solution for achieving smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Non-Ablative
Non-ablative lasers work beneath the skin's surface without causing damage to the outer layer. Their mechanism involves heating the underlying skin to stimulate new collagen growth, restoring natural firmness and tone. Although the results may be more gradual than ablative lasers, non-ablative treatments typically require no downtime and yield long-lasting rejuvenation outcomes.
It's important to note that the improvements achieved through laser resurfacing are remarkable and enduring, though they don't manifest overnight. The process of new skin cells and collagen growth requires several months to fully reveal its effects.
In recent times, fractional lasers have gained popularity. These lasers remove only a fraction of the skin in the treatment area. This ensures safety while allowing them to reach deeper layers of the skin. The result is more pronounced and impressive outcomes with minimal downtime, making fractional lasers a preferred choice for achieving dramatic results while ensuring a smoother recovery process.
Clear+Brilliant
Clear & Brilliant Original is a gentle yet effective solution for combating and preventing early signs of aging skin. Utilizing fractional laser technology, it creates countless microscopic treatment zones in the upper skin layers. This process replaces damaged skin with healthy tissue, resulting in a more youthful and vibrant appearance. This treatment can be combined with other lasers to address multiple skin concerns effectively.
Specially designed to tackle challenging skin pigmentation issues, Clear & Brilliant Permea is the ideal choice for melasma and improving skin tone and texture. Its unique handpiece treatment optimizes skin permeability, allowing post-treatment skincare products to penetrate more effectively. Generating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper skin layers rejuvenates the skin, replacing damaged areas with fresher, more youthful-looking skin.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-invasive and FDA-approved solution for facial tightening. Harnessing the power of micro-focused ultrasound energy, this treatment effectively stimulates collagen production, leading to visibly lifted and tightened skin. With a focus on uplifting the neck, chin, and brow, Ultherapy also improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest, offering a beneficial alternative to traditional surgical facelifts.
ResurFX Laser
ResurFX™ is a fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing laser that utilizes cutting-edge technology to enhance skin texture and address various imperfections. This laser targets fine lines, pore size, stretch marks, and acne scars, effectively rejuvenating your skin.
Operating with a 1565 nm fiber laser and an advanced scanner, the ResurFX™ laser offers many options for personalized treatment.
