Cosmetic Dermatology: Common Procedures for Skin Rejuvenation

Aging can dramatically affect your skin. Loss of collagen, elastin, and moisture can combine to make the skin look dull and uneven. Excessive sun exposure can cause the skin to appear blotchy, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to form. Skin rejuvenation procedures, available from your dermatologist, can help transform your skin. The dermatologists at Saddleback Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center in Lake Forest, CA, provide a wide range of medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including skin rejuvenation procedures.

How Skin Rejuvenation Procedures Can Enhance the Appearance of Your Skin

Skin rejuvenation procedures work by getting rid of dead skin cells and promoting increased skin cell production. Collagen and elastin production are boosted too, giving an overall effect of younger-looking, healthier skin. Let's look at some of the most common skin rejuvenation procedures:

Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive technique to stimulate collagen production. The process uses light energy to promote increased collagen and elastin production. Treatment requires no anesthesia and no downtime, making it a very convenient method to enhance your skin. Photorejuvenation is a great choice to diminish the appearance of:

  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Rosacea
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Microdermabrasion, using tiny crystals emitted from a handheld device. The crystals gently polish your skin and remove dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion also requires no downtime or anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Consider microdermabrasion if you have:

  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical peels use alpha-hydroxy acids and other substances to remove dead skin cells, debris, and other substances from the surface of your skin. Chemical peels also require no anesthesia. Chemical peels can help to:

  • Even out skin tone
  • Fade discolorations
  • Revitalize rough, dull skin
