    Skin Resurfacing

    Aging beyond our prime years is never easy. Our looks are one of our most important defining characteristics and often define people’s first impressions. Because of the emphasis on looking and feeling good, we as a population spend billions of dollars each year on the fight against old age. This is why Dr. Casey and the team of trained professionals offer skin resurfacing treatments to rejuvenate the appearance and bring back that youthful glow to your skin.

    Most often, the signs of aging begin with our skin. Ultraviolet rays, heredity, and lifestyle factors including diet, alcohol, smoking, and other drug use may contribute to facial wrinkling. Over time, our skin begins to change pigments in certain areas, which can create blotchiness or brown spots. Battling years of acne through adolescence or even in adulthood can cause permanent damage to the skin, leaving it uneven with scars.

    We offer the most advanced technologies in skin resurfacing.

    ♦ CO2 Cortex Skin Resurfacing Laser
    ♦ Microneedling

    CO2 Cortex Skin Resurfacing Laser

    As a person ages, their collagen production begins to decline which leads to the breakdown of the skin’s underlying support structure. Daily exposure to UV rays and other environmental elements can cause the skin to become discolored and premature wrinkles may emerge. Treatments with the Cortex laser system will enhance the skin’s strength and elasticity. The skin will have a smoother, tighter texture and pigmentation problems will begin to diminish.

    Who Is a Good Candidate?

    Healthy patients with realistic expectations who are seeking total skin rejuvenation or treatment of scars from surgery or acne are excellent candidates for fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing. Patients with active inflammatory skin conditions may require treatment of these conditions before lasering, and those with very dark skin are not good candidates because of a risk of changing the skin’s native color.

    How Does The CO2 Laser Feel On My Skin?

    Treatment sensations vary from person to person. As tiny pulses of energy are delivered into the skin, most patients will experience a warm sharp feeling and an immediate tightening of the skin. Anesthetic ointments and cooling devices may be used to reduce any discomfort during and after the CO2 treatment. Patients may look and feel like they have a mild sunburn for a few days after the treatment. Over the course of 3-5 days, the old damaged skin will begin to come off and light flaking will continue for up to 10 days. This is part of the skin’s healing process.

    Microneedling

    A collagen-stimulating treatment for skin rejuvenation targeting textural issues dealing with pores, acne scars, and wrinkles. The technique involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause physical trauma.

    This trauma prompts the derma, a deeper layer of skin, to rebuild.

    Microneedling may help address many skin-related complaints, including:

    wrinkles
    scarring
    acne
    alopecia
    skin pigmentation issues
    stretch marks
    rosacea
    loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction

    Skin Exfoliation – Dermaplaning

    Dermaplaning is the most effective manual exfoliation using a surgical steel blade that removes fine facial hair and dead skin cells. It is recommended as a monthly treatment.

    Fast Facts
