Treatment Plan

Treatment Choices:
Many different treatment modalities for sun damage are available. Using the most advanced methods we utilize several devices to get "selective" damage to affected areas without destroying the more normal skin. Intense pulsed light devices (IPL) such as the Aesthera can target damaged areas while sparing undamaged areas. Biopsies of these areas have shown actual reversal of scarring, inflammation, broken capillaries, and pigmentation which characterized sun damaged skin. By adding a very small amount of liquid nitrogen to pinpoint precancerous and pigmented ares significant rejuvenation can be accomplished with minimal down time. Several treatments are required to achieve desired results but rejuvenation can be dramatic. The combination of noninvasive modalities is much more effective than any single treatment. These treatments are relatively painless.

Re-treatment:
In spite of good precaution and excellent treatment modalities, re-treatment is necessary because skin has a long memory and old damage can evolve slowly over time. A regular maintenance program after a series of initial treatments including stimulating facials, rejuvenating products and regular inspections can be extremely rewarding.
