Skin rejuvenation is term that is used to refer to multiple or series treatments that return your skin to its healthiest, most youthful and glowing condition, no matter your age. It often involves a stepped approach that combines laser treatments for pigmentation, veins and scarring, peels for replenishing new skin, and microneedling for helping the skin naturally produce new collagen.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to treat sun damage, excessive redness, and hyperpigmentation. The face is numbed with a topical cream to reduce the discomfort of the treatment and is cooled immediately post-treatment to decrease mild redness and swelling. Most patients are able to return to work the same day.

Skin resurfacing treatments use quick, non-invasive laser technology to create tiny channels in the skin to allow for new collagen production and skin repair. This modality best treats vascular lesions and uneven pigmentation. The best part? There’s minimal, if any, downtime. The area is numbed with a topical cream to reduce the discomfort of the treatment and is cooled immediately post-treatment to decrease mild redness and swelling. Most patients are able to return to work the same day, some experience mild swelling and redness for up to 48 hours.

Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process. A scar results from the biologic process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues. Most wounds, except for very minor ones, result in some degree of scarring. Scars can result from accidents, diseases, skin conditions such as acne, or surgeries.

Scars form when the dermis (deep, thick layer of skin) is damaged. The body forms new collagen fibers (a naturally occurring protein in the body) to mend the damage, resulting in a scar. The new scar tissue will have a different texture and quality than the surrounding tissue. Scars form after a wound is completely healed.

There are different kinds of scars. Most scars are flat and pale. However, in cases when the body produces too much collagen, scars can be raised. Raised scars are referred to as hypertrophic scars or keloid scars. These scar types are more common in younger and dark-skinned people. Some scars may have a sunken or pitted appearance; this kind of scarring occurs when underlying structures supporting the skin (for example, fat or muscle) are lost.

Scars also can appear as stretched skin. These scars result when the skin stretches rapidly (for example, growth spurts or during pregnancy). In addition, this type of scar can occur when the skin is under tension (near a joint, for example) during the healing process.

It is not recommended to get microneedling when breastfeeding unless you are willing to get the procedure done without topical numbing cream first being applied to the area. While still possible, most patients indicate that the treatment discomfort level is much higher without the numbing cream and thus generally do not opt to get the treatment without it.

Microneedling may help with acne by stimulating collagen production which can help to improve the appearance of the skin. If experiencing active acne breakouts, it is best to consult with a licensed skincare professional to ensure that microneedling is right for you and to ensure that acne will not spread to other areas of the skin.
