¿Está esperando el mejor momento para renovar su piel? El tiempo es ahora

Skin resurfacing can provide great results, but during recovery, your skin may be peeling or feeling sensitive and you must avoid the sun. For this reason, many people wait until just the right time to schedule a skin resurfacing treatment and that time is now. Winter is steadily approaching, which means less sun exposure and more time spent indoors, so you won’t need to choose between beauty and fun.

What is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing can be performed by a laser. The goal is to replace damaged skin with fresh, new skin. Rejuvenecimiento facial con láser accomplishes this by removing the outer layer of skin to reveal undamaged skin underneath. Recovery involves the peeling of the outer layer of skin and the healing of the newly exposed skin layer. Microneedling works to resurface the skin in a different way. This treatment involves a device with tiny needles that create micro-injuries to the targeted skin. This stimulates collagen production and causes the skin to react by healing itself, rejuvenating your skin from the inside out.

Why is Winter the Best Time for Skin Resurfacing?

After a laser skin resurfacing treatment, you must keep your treated skin out of the sun for 7-10 days and must protect your skin from the sun for a few months. This can be difficult for those who work or who enjoy lots of outdoor activities, which is why winter creates the best opportunity for skin resurfacing. Winter brings more indoor activities and less sunshine during the day, so you won’t feel like you’re missing out on outdoor fun. Additionally, with all the holidays during these months, you’ll have more time off work and other regular activities, so you won’t have to use much vacation time or cancel plans for your recovery. When holiday parties do begin, you can arrive to each with a fresh, youthful face to impress friends, co-workers, and family.

What Can I Treat with Resurfacing?

De acuerdo a pubmed.gov, skin resurfacing can treat many concerns of the face and neck, depending on whether a laser or microneedling device is used. The concerns that both types of devices typically treat are:

• Lineas finas
• Las arrugas
• pigmentación desigual
• Cicatrices de acné
• daño del sol
• Laxitud leve de la piel
• textura desigual

Microneedling para una piel joven

Microneedling is another great option for skin improvement during these winter months. At our Charlotte, NC office, we offer two options for microneedling, the Rejuvapen y profunda de RF. Both of these treatments stimulate collagen growth by creating micro-injuries in your skin. Your skin’s natural reaction will allow for firmer, more youthful skin to appear over time. You may start to see results after a couple weeks, but full results may not be seen until 6-12 months. You’ll continue to see improvement through the holidays and into the spring.

With Rejuvapen, we can rejuvenate and tighten your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, and minimize pore size and the appearance of scarring caused by acne, injury, or surgery. Your recovery will be just 12-24 hours, and results can last 6-12 months. Our team can help create a customized treatment plan for you so you can maintain your results.

ProfoundRF can achieve more dramatic results that may last 3-5 years. In addition to what Rejuvapen can treat, ProfoundRF can also increase your skin’s volume, making it firmer, thicker, and more supple. This device also prevents further sagging and wrinkling of the face and neck. Recovery is 7-10 days, so take advantage of this slow season to get your treatment.
