Do you often wish your skin was clearer, smoother, or younger-looking? Skin resurfacing can beautify your skin. But what exactly is skin resurfacing and what are the benefits of having the procedure done.
What is skin resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that removes damaged outer layers of skin and encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells.
Common types of skin resurfacing treatments
Laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a treatment that uses laser energy to improve the appearance of the skin. There are ablative, non-ablative, and fractional laser treatments. Whereas ablative lasers remove the outer layer of skin, non-ablative lasers stimulate collagen production below the surface.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment in which a medical-grade scalpel is used to exfoliate the top layers of dead skin cells and microscopic hair aka ‘peach fuzz.’ Dermaplaning leaves the skin looking smooth and revitalized.
Micropeel
Micropeel is a light to medium chemical peel that uses lactic acid to exfoliate the skin’s surface. A Micropeel is often done in combination with dermaplaning to maximize skin rejuvenation results.
