Dermabrasion

- Effective in reducing fine lines, some age spots, and mild acne
   scars.

- Non surgical. Crystals in a gentile abrasion “polish” the skin surface.

- Maximal results range between 5-6 treatments, usually 3-4 weeks
  apart. Should have periodic repeat treatments and skin care to
  maintain results after initial regimen completed.

- Combining with a chemical peel or MicroLaser Peel can increase
   the effect.

- Benefits: no side effects, safe on all skin types and colors,
   immediately resume normal activities.

Chemical Peels

- Works by “peeling” away the skins superficial layers to help
   sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented skin and fine wrinkles.

- Types of peels:
             AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) such as glycolic or lactic acid.
             TCA ( trichloroacetic acid) are stronger peels which
             penetrate deeper.

- Benefits : AHA no anesthetics, single treatment will improve look
   though complete benefit may require multiple treatments due to
   superficial level of peel.

IPL (Intense Pulse Light)

IPL is very affective at treating age spots and freckling as a result of sun damage. Some skin tightening can occur with the Photo-facial technique. There is no down time with this treatment. Generally it will take 2 to 3 treatments to obtain the best result.

Protection from further sun damage will limit skin staining.
