Skin Resurfacing Techniques: Achieving a Radiant Complexion at Any Age

In many ways, your skin tells the story of your soul. When you are happy, your skin is glowing. When you are concerned or upset, your skin reveals your frustration. Over time, the aging process, as well as your environment, can take its toll on your skin, but it’s important to know that you can still control your narrative.

At Schaffer Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of innovative skin resurfacing techniques that allow you to achieve a radiant complexion at any age.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are some of the most effective skin resurfacing procedures available, and they are ideal for anyone who is suffering from the first signs and symptoms of aging, fine lines, sun damage or rough skin.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon who prioritizes safety and efficacy, Dr. Schaffer is proud to utilize SkinMedica® chemical peels at his practice. There are three distinct chemical peel options for patients to choose from, including:

• Illuminize Peel^® —Designed for individuals with mild skin imperfections, the Illuminize Peel® can provide stunning results with just one treatment.
• Rejuvenize Peel^® — Perfect for those who are suffering from moderate-to-severe skin imperfections, the Rejuvenize Peel® requires between three and six treatments in order to produce the most profound results.
• Vitalize Peel^® — Ideal for patients who are suffering from moderate-to-severe skin imperfections caused by sun damage, the Vitalize Peel® can be personalized to meet your needs. Some patients only require one peel, while others may need three to six treatments for the best possible results.

A board-certified plastic surgeon should administer chemical peels, as these treatments are designed to eliminate damaged skin from the surface, allowing fresh skin cells to regenerate in their place. The end result is a fresh, glowing appearance, making this one of the best non-surgical treatment options for skin resurfacing.

Laser Treatments

Laser skin resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation procedure that can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and scars while evening out your skin tone. In order to perform this procedure, Dr. Schaffer uses advanced laser technology to destroy the outer layer of skin, ultimately allowing new skin cells to grow in its place.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that is best for superficial skin concerns, such as dullness of the skin and minor scars. During this procedure, the surgeon will gently use an abrasive instrument in order to physically exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells on the outer layer. It is an effective and convenient procedure for those who are looking for quick results.

Choosing a Qualified Professional

Skin resurfacing procedures may be non-surgical procedures, but it is still essential to choose a qualified and experienced professional. It is best to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for skin resurfacing, as they will have received the advanced training required to perform these procedures safely and effectively.

Post-Treatment Maintenance

Depending on the procedure that you have performed, it could take up to several weeks for your full results to be revealed. Dr. Schaffer will provide you with personalized advice and instructions, ensuring that you are able to maintain your results for years to come. It’s best to adopt a simple skincare routine and prioritize sun protection as you heal, and you will want to prioritize any follow-up appointments scheduled by your provider.
