With years of sun damage that led to hyperpigmentation and redness of her skin, our client was self-conscious about her appearance and felt that she looked much older than she was. Until recently, the only options dermatologists had for treating this type of skin were chemical peels and dermabrasions. While many clinics still use these options, Island Dermatology has moved toward the use of more advanced lasers in the treatment of aged skin.
Due to the extent of the damage, our dermatologist recommended a Microlaser Peel combined with ProFractional Sciton Laser treatments. Because this laser covers a smaller area of the skin, the skin’s healing response is stimulated to produce new collagen and elastin while leaving the surrounding skin’s tissue intact. Not only does this speed up healing, but it is also much more comfortable for the patient. The combination of treatments allows our dermatologists to both stimulate deeper layers of skin with the Sciton Laser while polishing the surface with the Microlaser Peel.
After hearing the benefits and potential results of the combined treatments, our patient agreed to both, hoping her appearance would be restored to its natural state. Her skin responded as predicted. The colors blended together to create a smooth surface, rather than a splotchy and red one. Additionally, the production of collagen firmed her skin for an even more youthful glow. She was incredibly pleased with the results, and her confidence in her look returned. Schedule an appointment with us today and make your first move to younger looking skin.
