Wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone can make you appear duller and unapproachable. While the cosmetic world offers a wide range of aesthetic products, you may need an expert’s opinion on the right aesthetic treatment. The Rapha Health and Wellness team provides personalized treatment plans to improve your physical appearance and boost your self-confidence.
Aesthetic services you should consider
The cosmetic market consists of numerous aesthetic products, making it crucial to scrutinize the treatments before using them. Acne conditions, face discoloration, wrinkles, sunspots, and scarring can make you desperate to the point of trusting any skin care product. Consider consulting your dermatologist before using any aesthetic product, regardless of whether you are treating mild acne or raging eczema. During your initial appointment at the practice, the team discusses your imperfections and performs a thorough physical exam before recommending treatment. You may also inform your provider of your beauty goals ad expectations during this appointment. The practice offers several personalized aesthetic services, including:
- Dermabrasion
During dermabrasion, your dermatologist numbs your skin first to ensure you are comfortable before using an exfoliating device to eliminate the outer layers of the skin. Skin exfoliation triggers cell regeneration, restoring your youthfulness. This treatment improves the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and sunspots. After a dermabrasion procedure, you may experience irritation, swelling, or redness, which resolves within a few days. The effects of this treatment remain intact for several years; once they fade, you can schedule another treatment session with your provider.
- Laser resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes light beams to destroy the outer skin layer, allowing the development of new, healthier cells. The heat from the laser triggers collagen and elastin production, which rejuvenates your skin, making it smoother and radiant. The professional team can eliminate troublesome acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles within two hours. After treatment, your skin may become slightly sensitive to the sun, but it should normalize within a few months.
- Dermal fillers
Most people seek dermal fillers to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As you age, your muscles weaken, and the skin becomes thinner, making it more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Your provider injects dermal fillers into your skin to restore volume and firmness. The team may recommend this treatment for the area around your eyes, cheeks, or lips. Fillers enhance your aging skin, making you look several years younger. Side effects of this treatment include pain, bruising, and swelling at the treatment site. The results usually last for about 6-18 months, after which you can go for another treatment session.
- Chemical peels
Chemical peels improve your appearance by eliminating dry or damaged skin cells and allowing new and healthy skin cells to grow. This treatment can address acne spots, dark freckles, and sun spots and improve skin tone and texture. Chemical peels can be mild or deep, depending on your unique needs. During the treatment, your provider applies a chemical solution to your skin which causes the outer skin layer to peel off.
