Skin Rejuvenation Q&A

What is skin rejuvenation?

Skin rejuvenation is a term used to describe treatments that improve the look and feel of your skin. There are numerous options to choose from, each with a distinct set of pros and cons. 

Chemical peels

Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the outermost layers of dead skin to reveal a layer of fresh, healthy cells. There are different strengths to choose from, and options for all skin types. 

Microneedling

This treatment uses a handheld device covered in sterile treatment needles to create tiny channels into the deeper layers of skin. Your body responds to those micro injuries with a swift healing response, creating new collagen cells that smooth and plump skin. 

Intense pulsed light

Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, also called photofacials, is a light-based therapy that treats pigmentation issues. It can also help with fine lines and wrinkles. 

Laser skin resurfacing

The most intense form of skin rejuvenation, laser skin resurfacing uses concentrated light energy to remove the outer layers of skin. This treatment yields outstanding results in just one visit. 

During your consultation, Dr. Compton guides you toward the skin rejuvenation options best suited for your needs and goals. 

What kinds of issues can skin rejuvenation treat?

Skin rejuvenation can address many different common skin conditions. Even better, many treatments can correct more than one issue with the same treatment. 

Some of the issues that skin rejuvenation can improve include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Redness from rosacea
  • Spider veins
  • Scars
  • Acne
  • Age spots
  • Stretch marks
  • Freckles
  • Hyperpigmentation

As compared to having multiple treatments to address more than one of these complaints, skin rejuvenation offers a good return on your investment. 

How do I know if skin rejuvenation is right for me?

When you come in for an initial consultation, Dr. Compton assesses your skin and discusses your treatment goals. He then guides you toward the treatment options that best align with your needs and goals. 

You are encouraged to ask questions and express concerns as you explore treatment options. By the end of your visit, you’ll have all the details needed to make an informed decision about your treatment path. 

Be sure to share the full details of all medications and supplements you’re taking, especially topical treatments like retinols. Some medications can have negative interactions with certain medical aesthetic treatments.
