Our comprehensive range of skin rejuvenation treatments is designed to effectively address these varied issues.

What Is Skin Rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation refers to a variety of treatments that aim to enhance and renew the skin's appearance. This term covers solutions for aging signs, uneven skin tone, texture issues, and scarring. These treatments can work by stimulating tissue healing and regeneration, restoring lost volume, or removing dull, damaged skin.
How Do Skin Rejuvenation Treatments Work?
Anti-aging skin treatments enhance your skin’s natural ability to heal, regenerate, and improve its appearance. These treatments target concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven tone by boosting collagen production and encouraging cell turnover. Techniques such as laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, and chemical peels restore smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Other treatments can offer fast smoothing of lines or enhanced volume.
Who Can Benefit From Skin Rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation is great for patients looking to reduce signs of aging, correct discoloration, or improve skin texture and tone. These treatments address many concerns, from smoothing fine lines with dermal fillers to refreshing your skin with a chemical peel. Whether you’re seeking subtle improvements or noticeable changes, we can find the right approach for you.
What Are the Benefits of Skin Rejuvenation?
Reduction of Wrinkles and Other Signs of Aging
As skin matures, wrinkles and fine lines naturally appear. Skin rejuvenation treatments effectively combat these signs, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion. By incorporating skin tightening techniques and anti-aging solutions, we can restore the skin's firmness and reduce the visibility of age-related changes.
Minimized Appearance of Large Pores
Large pores can lead to a less refined skin texture, affecting overall skin appearance. A key advantage of several of our skin rejuvenation treatments is their ability to minimize these pores by restoring lost volume to the skin or by boosting collagen in the skin surrounding the pores.
Reduction of Acne Scarring
Acne scars can linger long after breakouts have healed, leaving marks that affect skin smoothness and uniformity. Through targeted skin rejuvenation methods, the appearance of acne scars can be reduced. We have several treatments that can smooth away acne scars, whether by removing the damaged surface of the skin or filling in depressions.
Improved Texture and Tone
Uneven skin texture and tone can detract from a clear and vibrant complexion. With treatments focused on skin texture improvement, you can experience a more refined and balanced skin appearance. These treatments work to smooth irregularities, soften rough skin, and give the skin a more even tone.
Correction of Sun Damage
Exposure to the sun over time can lead to various skin issues, including discoloration, spots, and premature aging. Many of our skin rejuvenation therapies can address these signs of sun damage. They can give your skin a more uniform skin color while treating wrinkles and sagging that can come from prolonged exposure to the sun.
Improved Facial Volume
Loss of facial volume is a common concern as skin ages, which can cause your face to have a less defined facial contour or cause your skin to sag. Rejuvenation treatments like fillers can help restore this lost volume, bringing back a fuller, more youthful facial appearance.
What Types of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments Do We Offer?
RF Microneedling
RF microneedling with our PiXel8-RF technology, is a sophisticated treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for skin rejuvenation. This treatment starts by using tiny needles to create little holes, or microchannels, in the skin. This causes your body to begin a natural healing process where it makes new collagen and new tissue. The addition of radiofrequency energy intensifies the treatment, coagulating tissues for a fast skin-tightening effect and helping your body create even more collagen.
This method is effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars and enhancing overall skin texture. RF microneedling with PiXel8-RF can also be suitable for all kinds of different skin types and is perfect for patients looking for a non-invasive solution.
PRF and PRP Treatments
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are skin rejuvenation treatment methods that use nothing but your body's own healing capabilities to improve the health and appearance of your skin. Both treatments involve using your own blood to affect these changes, but they differ slightly in their composition and their centrifugation process. When injected or applied topically, PRP and PRF can enhance skin texture and reduce wrinkles and acne scars.
Injectables
Injectables, such as Botox®, Dysport®, JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®, are important additions to our list of skin rejuvenation treatments. Botox and Dysport can treat wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles while JUVÉDERM and Restylane, as dermal fillers, add volume and smooth out lines by immediately filling out the space. Here is a closer look at our injectable options:
Botox
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the activity of specific facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. It blocks nerve signals to the injected muscles and prevents them from contracting and causing wrinkles. This non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment can deliver a more youthful, refreshed appearance with quick results and minimal downtime.
Dysport
Dysport is another neuromodulator that works in the same way as Botox but has a slightly different formulation. Though made with the same active ingredient, Dysport spreads slightly farther than Botox and is ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead. Dysport softens expression lines while maintaining a natural look.
JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM is a collection of dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally hydrates and plumps the skin. These fillers add volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds while smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. JUVÉDERM treatments are quick and offer immediate results, helping to restore youthful contours and enhance facial harmony.
Restylane
Restylane is another family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and enhance facial features like the lips and cheeks. These products replenish the skin’s natural hydration and restore lost elasticity. Restylane is versatile and can be used for subtle enhancements or more noticeable contouring.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a unique biostimulator that targets deeper layers of skin, providing longer-lasting volume enhancement through the stimulation of collagen and elastin. Unlike traditional fillers, it works gradually, with results improving over several months as collagen production increases. Sculptra is ideal for restoring lost volume in areas like the cheeks and temples.
Each of these injectables caters to different aging signs and can be part of your treatment plan as we seek to provide you with natural-looking results.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Laser skin rejuvenation uses focused light to target various skin concerns and is one of the most effective anti-aging solutions. This treatment works by stimulating collagen production and promoting new skin cell growth for firmer, smoother skin. It's particularly beneficial for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage.
Laser therapy can offer solutions for a range of skin tones and types and can be customized to address specific aging concerns. The precision of laser technology allows for targeted treatment, so problem areas can be effectively addressed without damaging the surrounding skin.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are an effective method for skin tightening and rejuvenation, involving the application of a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of damaged skin. We offer three types: alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol.
AHA peels are milder and suitable for treating fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone. TCA peels are medium-depth, targeting deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. Phenol peels are the deepest, addressing more pronounced wrinkles and scars. Each type of peel is customized to the patient's skin condition and desired outcome, effectively enhancing skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Post-Treatment Care for Long-Lasting Results
After skin rejuvenation treatments, proper care maintains and enhances your results. Protect your skin by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as treated skin can be more sensitive to UV rays. Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and avoid harsh skincare products like retinoids or exfoliants for a few days. To reduce swelling or redness, apply cool compresses as recommended by your practitioner and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided for treatments like RF microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables. Regular follow-up appointments and a consistent skincare routine can help you enjoy long-lasting, beautiful results.
A Few Common Questions About Our Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
What Is the Difference Between Traditional and RF Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling only involves fine needles to create tiny, controlled perforations in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin resurfacing for rejuvenation. RF microneedling enhances this process by also administering radiofrequency energy through the needles, targeting deeper layers of the skin to tighten and lift. The addition of RF energy makes it more effective for addressing advanced signs of aging, like sagging skin and deep wrinkles, while traditional microneedling focuses on improving texture, tone, and fine lines.
How Do I Know Which Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Is Right for Me?
Choosing the right skin renewal therapy depends on your skin type, specific concerns, and aesthetic goals. Treatments like chemical peels are ideal for addressing surface-level issues such as dullness and discoloration, while laser treatments and RF microneedling may be better for deeper signs of aging like sagging skin. Dermal fillers and other injectables are good for fast but temporary changes. A consultation can help determine which option will best meet your goals based on your skin's condition and desired results.
Are These Treatments Suitable for All Skin Types?
Many skin rejuvenation treatments, such as RF microneedling and injectables, are safe for all skin types when performed by an experienced provider. However, treatments like certain laser therapies may not be suitable for darker skin tones due to a higher risk of pigmentation changes. We customize every treatment to suit your unique skin type and take precautions to minimize risks while maximizing results.
How Many Sessions Will I Need to See Results?
The number of sessions required for non-surgical skin rejuvenation depends on the treatment and your specific concerns. PRP/PRF, RF microneedling, and laser treatments may be most beneficial after three or four sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Injectables like Botox or dermal fillers may provide noticeable improvements after a single session but may need to be reapplied to maintain results. Chemical peels can vary by depth with deeper peels providing results in one session.
How Long Will Results Last?
The longevity of results also depends on which treatment you and your provider choose and how well you maintain your skin. Injectables like Botox last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last up to a year or more. Results from RF microneedling or laser treatments may last 6-12 months, with maintenance sessions as recommended. Chemical peel results can last several weeks to months, depending on the depth of the peel.
