What Can Skin Resurfacing Do for You?

There’s no denying that facial cosmetic surgical procedures offer stunning and transformative results to the face. Cosmetic procedures like facelift surgery, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and brow lift surgery (forehead lift) can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as well as sagging skin. However, these plastic surgery procedures cannot address many skin flaws and blemishes, including scarring, sun damage, and discoloration.

The good news is that many non-surgical cosmetic treatments are available to help women and men achieve the smoother, clearer, and brighter skin they desire. 

One of the most successful of these non-surgical treatments is laser skin resurfacing. However, with so many different laser skin treatment options, the question is: Which laser skin treatment is right for you? 

The information below can help you better understand your skin resurfacing options.

What Does Skin Resurfacing Mean?

Laser skin resurfacing procedures use laser energy to correct any number of skin blemishes. These skin blemishes may have been present since birth or result from sun damage, age, lifestyle, or a life event. 

Laser energy breaks down pigmentation and/or promotes collagen production. Ultimately, these treatments help improve the quality, strength, and health of the skin to give you the smoother and more beautiful appearance you desire. 

Not only is laser skin resurfacing effective and transformational to your skin quality as a standalone procedure, but it can also be combined with plastic surgery to give you even more dramatic results.

What Are My Laser Skin Resurfacing Options?

Dr. Diamond is proud to offer several skin resurfacing options to help you achieve your desired results. While your skin care expert will help you decide which treatment is best for you, and discuss whether you may want to consider combining a resurfacing treatment with a cosmetic surgery procedure, below are some of the laser treatments available to you:

Morpheus8™ 

Morpheus8™combines microneedling with fractional and bipolar radio-frequency (RF) energy to help improve the general skin tone of patients of all ages. Concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring on the face and neck can be minimized and even erased with the Morpheus8™ treatments.

Fractora™ 

The Fractora™ treatment uses RF technology to target skin concerns without harming the surrounding skin or tissue. This treatment is a great choice for issues like fine lines, red and brown spots, and scars that are located in hard-to-reach areas of the face, especially around the eyes, nose, lips/mouth, and on the neck. 

Fraxel® 

Similar to microneedling, the Fraxel® laser treatment uses laser light energy to create microscopic damage to the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and causes the body to heal itself naturally. This treatment is an excellent option for patients looking to improve the appearance of sun damage, scarring, deeper creases, pigmentation concerns, and skin tone irregularities.

Clear + Brilliant® 

Clear + Brilliant® is used to help reduce the presence of large pores that can be unsightly and lead to unwanted breakouts. This treatment uses light energy to exfoliate the top layers so that new and healthy skin can grow, thereby shrinking pores to a healthier and more natural size.

Lumecca™ IPL

The Lumecca™ treatment uses IPL (intense pulsed light), which is essentially bursts of highly concentrated light energy. This light treatment improves the amount of collagen in the treatment area and addresses concerns like age spots, sun damage, rosacea, freckles, and vascular lesions. 

Diamond 4Ever Young

The Diamond 4Ever Young treatment combines Diamond Glow™, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and Morpheus8™ to exfoliate the skin, improve collagen production, and restore the skin to a healthier appearance. This treatment is a fantastic option for women and men looking to restore volume and improve the tone and texture of the skin.

Include These in a Diamond InstaFacial® for More Luminous Skin

Patients looking for a complete skin overhaul benefit most from a Diamond InstaFacial®. This combination skin treatment uses laser energies (such as the treatments listed above) along with PRP injections, microneedling, and collagen masks to revive and replenish the look and feel of your facial skin.
