Reverse Facial Aging
SMOOTH WRINKLES, DIMINISH SUN SPOTS, GAIN FIRMNESS & ELASTICITY
Your face is your most visible feature, one that through expression and appearance conveys what and how you feel. Facial aging includes a loss of skin elasticity and firmness, sagging tissues, and wrinkles. These visible signs of aging can greatly impact how you feel about yourself and how others see you. Your face can appear tired or sad due to aging in the midface, jaw line, and neck. The loss of youthful contours in these areas is due to a variety of factors including heredity, gravity, environmental conditions, and stress.
Your skin (facial and body) is bombarded by the elements every day. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and firmness, begins to sag and wrinkle and becomes blotchy and uneven. We are fortunate to live in an age of advanced technology that can help us slow down and in some cases, reverse, the aging process.
Plastic Surgery Specialists, PC and The Medical Spa Skin Care and Laser Center have many of the latest technologies and procedures (surgical and non-surgical) to help you regain that youthful look to your skin.

Morpheus 8 by InMode
Our most effective micro ablative skin rejuvenation laser procedure, whether you are looking to refresh your look or appear years younger. The skin is treated one micro portion at a time - repeated thousands of times. Each micro column receives just enough laser energy to vaporize the aged skin while also stimulating new collagen growth of surrounding tissue. It's more than skin resurfacing, it's deep skin rejuvenation. Results will continue to improve over time. The SmartSkin® procedure is versatile and you can choose to have multiple mild treatment sessions or one more intensive session. Recovery time depends on the session you choose. Most patients are able to quickly heal and apply make-up on the treated surface and resume a normal lifestyle in as little as 2-3 days with the mild sessions and in 4-7 days with the more intensive session. What are you hoping to achieve? Your nurse or aesthetician can help you decide which treatment session is right for you!

Acne
Studies indicate that most people experience acne in some form at some time in their life. Hormonal changes cause the enlargement and blocking of oil producing sebaceous glands near the hair follicle within the skin. Acne usually begins with an abnormal amount of bacteria which causes painful pimples that can appear on your face, chest, back, limbs and virtually any other part of the body. Although we treat many teenagers with acne, "adult onset acne" brings many adults to our practice for treatment! Whatever your age, we examine each patient thoroughly to determine the best treatment.
Our Nodlys Acne Therapy is a unique therapeutic Blue Light that treats moderate inflammatory acne and is one of the safest treatments available. With ClearLight® there are no known side effects such as with some topical or oral therapies. Treatment is typically a series of 8 treatments over 4 weeks time. There is no pain and no down time.
Some acne may require a more intensive treatment: Levulan Kerastick® "Photo Dynamic Therapy" (PDT). Levulan is applied to the acne. Afterwards, the skin is exposed to a Blue Light or an IPL laser. A reaction occurs which helps destroy the acne. There is an excellent cosmetic response with no scarring reported.
Facial peels are also used to treat some acne. As usual, we customize the peel for your individualized needs.
We also carrying a full Obagi Acne line to help you have your best skin possible!
Cancers & Pre-Cancers
Up to 90% of all skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Fortunately, most skin cancers are visible and can be diagnosed early and successfully treated before they can spread to other parts of the body. Many lesions can be detected and treated at a precancerous stage - the point at which their cells may be close to turning cancerous but have not yet.
Actinic keratosis (AK) is the most common type of precancerous skin lesion. An AK is evidence that sun damage has occurred and means you are therefore at greater risk of developing skin cancer. The more AKs that are untreated, and the older these lesions are, the greater the chance that one or more may turn into squamous cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer.
Levulan Kerastick® "Photo Dynamic Therapy" (PDT) is an excellent treatment for AKs.
Levulan is applied to the AK. Afterwards, the skin is exposed to a Blue light or an IPL Laser (Intense Pulsed Light). A reaction occurs which helps destroy the AK. There is an excellent cosmetic response with no scarring reported.
Remember: frequent skin examinations are the key to early detection and prevention of skin cancers. Our staff atThe Medical Spa are trained in how to spot precancerous and skin cancer lesions. They can then refer you to the appropriate medical provider for advice and/or treatment.
