Skin Rejuvenation Medical Treatments That Give Your Skin An Improved Appearance

Skin rejuvenation involves restoring your skin so it looks more like it did when you were younger. This could involve tightening skin, removing discoloration, improving skin elasticity, repairing sun damage, reducing wrinkles, lifting sagging areas, and improving the texture of your skin.

A dermatologist or cosmetic doctor has a number of skin rejuvenation medical treatments to turn to so you get the results you want. These include using lasers, ultrasound, and radiofrequency for heat, cold temperatures, microneedling, chemical peels, and injectables. Here's how your doctor may treat specific skin problems.

To Reverse Sun Damage

Laser treatments can be given to reverse discoloration caused by sun exposure. The laser treatments reduce sun spots so your skin has a more uniform color and texture. Sun damage can also be improved by using a laser or chemical peel to remove the top layer of skin to reveal young, fresh skin below.

To Reduce Wrinkles

Wrinkles that form when you make expressions can be treated with botulinum injections. These injections are popular because they work quickly and last a long time. The injections keep wrinkles from forming by relaxing muscles so they don't move when you make facial movements.

Wrinkles that are always present can be reduced with fillers. The gel fillers plump up wrinkles so they fill out and are less noticeable. These wrinkles can also be reduced by taking treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin production in your skin. This includes things like microneedling and radiofrequency treatments that cause damage under the skin that stimulates your body to make collagen for repairs.

To Lift Sagging

If you have sagging skin along your neck or jowls, your doctor might recommend laser skin tightening or radiofrequency tightening. Sometimes skin tightening treatments can be used together for the best results. For instance, microneedling might be combined with radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin on your neck.

By adjusting the type of treatment you get, the doctor can tighten the skin around your eyes, neck, jowls, and anywhere on your body where you need a lift due to sagging.

Some skin rejuvenation medical treatments are more extreme than others and require a period of recovery afterward. Other treatments can be done on your lunch break and need no downtime. These may take longer to see results, but they can fit into your busy schedule more easily and are easier to endure.

Talk to a dermatologist or cosmetic doctor to find out the skin rejuvenation treatment that's right for you based on the condition of your skin and your beauty goals.
