3 Medical Treatments to Help Your Skin; Beyond At-Home Skin Care

PicoSure Laser

PicoSure is a non-invasive, non-surgical laser procedure that is attracted to pigment in the skin. It’s a great way to get rid of stubborn sun damage, melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, pigmented lesions and freckles. This procedure may take 2-3 sessions but it definitely works quickly and is painless. There’s no down time for this treatment & is semi-permanent. As long as you’re doing your at home care this procedure is perfect for achieving beautiful healthy looking skin.

IPL Photofacial

IPL (IntensePulsedLight) is similar to the PicoSure. but is only used for fitzpatrick skin types (I-III), essentially lighter skin tones. Due to the intensity of the light it could cause hypo-pigmentation, (complete removal of melanocytes, which causes permanent white spots) for darker skin types. Now this doesn’t mean this procedure is more “powerful” than the PicoSure Laser. It’s just less inclusive for all skin types. The after affects of this procedure is your pigment spots will become darker in color and appear like a coffee ground, then eventually after a week will fall off on its own. If you’re the right fitz type this treatment is fantastic in getting rid of broken capillaries on the face. Broken capillaries appear like little teeny red veins and are typically seen around the nose.

Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling is a procedure that uses little needles to prick the skin. This is to cause micro-injuries to the face so the skin can repair & heal itself quickly. It also causes more collagen production. Some mirconeedling uses PRP (platelete-rich plasma) infusion. So they do the microneedling and cause the micro-injuries in the skin, then infuse the micro tears with your own white blood cells to speed up the process of healing & collagen. This version of microneedling is often referred to as “vampire facial”. There’s also RFMN (Radio-Frequency Microneedling) which is great for scars and stretch marks. It uses radio frequency to heat up the fibroblasts in the skin and gives them a nice “warm bubble bath” so they can then speed up collagen production further that just microneedling. All of these forms are great for unproblematic skin. Meaning you shouldn’t have these treatments done if you have multiple active pustules, cystic acne or inflammation.
