Premature wrinkling, sun damage, acne scars, and pre-cancerous skin growths are facial concerns that can be addressed with skin resurfacing. At Radiance Medspa we offer both laser resurfacing and more gentle exfoliation through microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

The Sciton Profractional Laser is a state of the art skin resurfacing system that is unique in that it can be used to treat specific areas of your skin without affecting surrounding tissue. This advanced technology allows your skin to heal in a fraction of the time because you are not treating the entire skin surface all at once but only the specific problem area.

We use the profractional alone or in combinations with the Micro Laser Peel. The Micro Laser Peel is the newest tool in the fight against aging. This innovative laser treatment has been developed for those of us who live a busy life and are looking to improve our skin's texture, color, and tone. Sometimes referred to as the "weekend peel" the Micro Laser peel can treat a wide range of skin conditions with results being visible within a few days. This skin resurfacing technique leaves you looking revitalized and allows you to reveal the inner you.

Chemical peeling continues to be the gold standard in cosmetic enhancement of facial skin. Chemical peeling of the face has been performed for many years. The ancient Egyptians used particles of alabaster mixed with milk and honey to abrade facial skin to create tightening. In Egypt Cleopatra is said to have bathed in sour milk, while French women have applied fermented wine to their faces to improve the quality of the skin.

Chemical peels are becoming more and more popular as a way to freshen the face by removing the outer layer of skin to reveal the smoother, newer skin underneath. People of all skin types can benefit from chemical peels to give their face a younger, healthier look.

The gentlest form of resurfacing, microdermabrasion is performed using the SilkPeel™. SilkPeel™ is a breakthrough system that combines precision non-invasive exfoliation with Dermalinfusion™, deep delivery of skin-specific solutions, to improve and revitalize the skin. SilkPeel is unique because it does not use crystals or other abrasive particles that can irritate the skin like most microdermabrasion.

Your skincare professional may recommend alternating types of resurfacing treatments for both superficial exfoliation and deeper cell turnover. Treatments are performed every 2-4 weeks, or are sometimes done at the same time for ultimate skin resurfacing.
