Facial Rejuvination
Here at Physicians Aesthetics, we focus on promoting graceful aging. Laser resurfacing, chemical peel, microdermabrasion, neuromodulators, and soft tissue augmentation (Injectables) discourage pre-mature aging and cause an increase in collagen and elastin production. This surge diminishes hyperpigmentation or sun spots, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and plumps and tightens skin laxity. During your in-depth consultation, Dr. Atkins will create a package customized to you and your skin. Often these packages combine several different modalities to achieve optimum results. Treatments can take 20-30 minutes to perform.
Modalities
-
Microdermabrasion: Suction sloughs off dead skin cells while promoting a surge of collagen and elastin.
-
IPL: Treatment of age spots and broken capillaries while using heat to tighten and firm skins texture
-
Fraxel or Erbuim-Yag: Ablative laser that deeply tightens skin while improving discoloration and tone
-
Radio Frequency: Uses electricity to stimulate the formation of collagen and lift fallen tissue
-
Skin Pen Microneedling: Ablative laser with minimal downtime that eliminates scar tissue and pigmentation
The Procedure
Fraxel causes minimal pain during the procedure, but does require 3 to 4 days of downtime. Microdermabrasion is recommended with this procedure to assist in the reduction of downtime to properly slough off dead skin cells. IPL is often packaged with microneedling to encourage an extreme surge of collagen while treating the discoloration of skin. Microneedling may also be combined with chemical peels to eliminate bacteria and to break down scar tissue associated with acne. Downtime associated with these procedures range from 0 to 4 days.
Radio frequency and microdermabrasion are often packed together do to there lack of downtime. Liposuction for submental or under the chin fat may be added to encourage a strong chin and jawline. Patients can have these procedures done the weekend of or the day before an event. Bright, glowing skin is revealed directly after the procedure with skin being noticeably tighter the day after due to radio frequency. Dr. Debra Atkins has been performing these laser treatments for almost 20 years and provides the most efficient treatment with the least amount of downtime.
