Skin Resurfacing is a category of procedures that can give you more youthful, healthier-looking skin by removing damaged skin layers in order to reduce or eliminate surface imperfections. The spectrum ranges from various chemical peels, lasers and newer technologies such as radio-frequency and plasma technology to achieve smoother, tighter skin of the face, neck and upper chest. Skin treatment programs may be used both before and after laser skin treatments in order to enhance the results.
Chemical skin peels have been performed for many years to treat a variety of skin disorders. Conditions such as sun damage, wrinkling, and uneven pigmentation may be treated with these non-invasive techniques. There are many different techniques and regimens for the application of chemical-peeling and skin treatment medications.
Dr. Pielet has taught lasers and laser physics both nationally and internationally and was instrumental in the design of one of the most advanced, state-of-the-art, laser hair removal system available. Lasers have been used by plastic surgeons as a surgical instrument for many years. There are many different methods for the surgical use of lasers. Conditions such as wrinkles, sun damaged skin, scars and some types of skin lesions/disorders may be treated with the CO2 and Erbium laser. In some situations, laser treatments may be performed at the time of other surgical procedures.
Performed on men and women of all ages, this treatment is appropriate for minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in localized areas, especially around the mouth and eyes, as well as for treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation.
