Skin Texture and Scars
Microneedling
Microneedling, which is also known as CIT or Collagen Induction Therapy, stimulates collagen production in the skin. Collagen, a crucial component of skin health, keeps skin hydrated and youthful. Increasing collagen in the skin can produce a wide range of cosmetic benefits.
Through microneedling, collagen is produced by creating tiny punctures in the skin. This procedure involves using a derma roller, a tool with numerous tiny needles along its length. In response, the body creates collagen, which triggers healing. Because these wounds in the skin are so tiny, they heal very quickly.
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are an effective way to help with a variety of skin concerns, including acne and uneven pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, and sun damage. Our chemical peels employ a variety of solutions to exfoliate the outer layer of skin while stimulating the growth of new collagen. Each peel has its own benefits and desired results, so let us help determine which peel is right for you.
Chemical peels do make your skin peel, but that’s normal, and you should expect to see some flaking during and after treatment. The amount of peeling will depend on the strength of the peel used, and the concentration of Retin-A applied in conjunction with the peel. Most patients report minimal flaking in less than five days, but it can take up to two weeks for full peeling.
