What is skin rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation is an umbrella term for treatments that enhance your skin’s health and appearance. Treatments are highly beneficial for:
- Stimulating cell turnover
- Promoting collagen development
- Forcing collagen fibers to stack neatly together
Skin rejuvenation treatments simply give your skin a boost and help it heal, since natural healing processes and tissue development slow down as you age.
What can skin rejuvenation treat?
When you come in to Park Avenue Facial Plastic Surgery for your skin rejuvenation consultation with Dr. Folk, he has a discussion with you about your concerns. He’s able to combine research-driven therapies to help treat:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Skin irregularities
- Lines and wrinkles
- Surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage
- Brown spots
- Acne scars
- Redness
Dr. Folk can even tailor your skin rejuvenation service to treat xanthelasma. This is the condition that leads to bumpy, yellow patches near your eyes, particularly on the inside corners of your lids.
Which type of skin rejuvenation treatment do I need?
As a state-of-the-art clinic, Park Avenue Facial Plastic Surgery is home to the most up-to-date tools and equipment. Depending on your concerns, Dr. Folk may recommend any of the following skin rejuvenation services:
Fraxel® skin resurfacing
Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 is an industry-leading medical laser platform. Using this technology, Dr. Folk uses a handheld tool to deliver microscopic laser columns deep into your skin. Fraxel skin resurfacing stimulates new cell growth from the inner layers and triggers collagen production to tone and tighten your skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling treatments harness the power of healing processes that naturally occur in your body. Dr. Folk uses a handheld tool to create hundreds of micro-sized wounds. As blood rushes to the area to heal the wounds, new skin tissues develop and replace the layer that was damaged.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
For more effective microneedling results, Dr. Folk may recommend combining your service with PRP. This solution comes from your own blood and contains a rich concentration of platelets and growth factors. Dr. Folk applies your PRP to your skin during microneedling, which further promotes healing effects and enhances the formation of skin-tightening collagen fibers.
