Spring Skin Rejuvenation Mar:11

After experiencing the weather conditions and low humidity of the past few months, your skin can look dry and dull. Combined with the effects of aging, lifestyle choices and previous sun damage, your skin can look worn beyond its years.

Skin rejuvenation is one of the most common concerns that we hear from our patients. As a result, we offer a range of solutions to help breathe new life into your skin—and revive even the most weathered face.

During a consultation with one of our doctors, a specific treatment or combination of treatments is recommended based on your individual skin concerns and needs. For example, a starting point for tired, dull skin might be the Pacific Peel microdermabrasion treatment, which produces a softer and smoother surface in a short 30-minute procedure.

Brown spots and other skin imperfections that tend to make our skin look older can be addressed by IPL (intense pulsed light) photorejuvenation. This light-based treatment stimulates new collagen growth and results in more even-toned, healthy-looking skin.

For more dramatic results, Fraxel® laser resurfacing is a proven multi-tasking treatment. Not only does it improve skin tone and texture, but it can correct deeper skin concerns like wrinkles at the same time as more superficial issues like uneven pigmentation and fine lines.

Lastly, injectables such as Botox ® and dermal fillers can be used to bring back a fresher, younger-looking appearance. Botox is used to improve the look of dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and creases, while dermal fillers remedy lost volume by creating fuller cheeks and filling folds and lines.

With over 30 years of experience between them, Dr. McGillivray and Dr. Rivers will help you find the right skin rejuvenation solution this spring. Contact us for a consultation today.
