Skin Resurfacing



Skin resurfacing are procedures designed to improve the texture and complexion of the skin.  We offer microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, chemical peels, and non ablative 1540 fractionated laser through the Rejuva Medspa and dermabrasion through the Indiana Plastic Surgery Center.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion with the Diamontome involves using a diamond dust impregnated wand with suction to sand the top keratinized layer of skin.  Crystal systems are also used.  This thins the epidermis or the top layer of skin giving immediate smoother skin.  It can also be used in conjunction with peels and skin care to allow deeper delivery of products yielding even better results.  This is done by our Aesthetician at Rejuva Medspa.

Dermaplaning:

Dermaplaning uses a modified surgical blade to smooth the top layer of skin (epidermis) leaving the skin immediately smoother. It can also be used in conjunction with peels and skin care to allow deeper delivery of products yielding even better results.  Dermaplaning also removes all that "peach fuzz".  This is done by our Aesthetician at the Rejuva Medspa.

1540 Fractionated Laser:

This is a nonablative type of resurfacing meaning the the top layer of skin is not completely destroyed such as older laser systems (CO2 for example).  It drives multiple micro columns of laser into the skin in a pixalated fashion leaving most of the skin intact.  The healing is fast with  some redness in the first few days.  Fractionated laser produces a more unified and smoother complexion and over the following months, a more supple fuller feel to the skin as collagen content is increased.


Dermabrasion

Dermabraion is performed with a rotating diamond dust burr creating a controlled abrasion. The skin is essentially sanded down to the deepest level of the scar making them less noticeable. Usually, healing to the point of makeup application is seen in one week, and redness may be present for weeks to months as the area heals.  One example is the radial wrinkles seen around the lips in smokers and those who purse the lips when expressing themselves. Another is in acne scarring.

Depending your specific needs, we have multiple options to make your skin radiant and youthful: skin resurfacing fort wayne - IN.
