Skin Resurfacing
Skin Resurfacing can be performed through the use
of chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser treatments. These skin
rejuvenation procedures are used to treat facial aging changes including
wrinkles and creases. Wrinkles around the mouth and lips can be
improved or eliminated.
Skin resurfacing can also be used to treat pigmentary
changes of skin such as “sun” spots, brown pigment spots,
fine capillaries and telangiectasias (small blood vessels).
What is skin resurfacing?
Chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser treatments
all involve resurfacing the skin. Skin resurfacing is the removal
of the damaged outer layers of the skin to allow new, undamaged
skin to grow in its place. As the skin heals and re-grows, new collagen
is produced.
This new collagen not only eliminates many fine lines
and wrinkles, but also refines the texture of the skin. Blemishes,
such as “age spots” are also removed. This new skin
provides you with a healthy, rejuvenated appearance.
Other Cosmetic Office Procedures
A number of techniques are available today that enable
facial plastic surgeons to treat a wider range of skin problems
than ever before. The type of treatment chosen depends upon a variety
of factors including, the type of skin problem, the severity, your
skin type and your state of health. Chemical peels, dermabrasion
and laser treatments each have their advantages and limitations.
A confidential
consultation with Dr. Albert Fox will help you determine which
option is the most appropriate for your individual needs.
