Skin Treatments At Texas Dermatology
Investing in skin health is a key part of self-care, helping individuals feel and look their best at every stage of life. Here’s a detailed overview of popular skin treatments at Texas Dermatology, including how each treatment works and the benefits they offer.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peel treatments involve applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting regeneration. They effectively improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and address pigmentation issues.
How it Works
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution that exfoliates and removes dead skin cells, allowing fresh, regenerated skin to surface. The depth of exfoliation can vary depending on the strength of the peel (light, medium, or deep).
Benefits
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Treats sun damage and pigmentation issues
- Minimizes acne scars and large pores
Dermaplaning
A gentle exfoliation method where a surgical scalpel is used to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion. It’s suitable for most skin types and enhances the absorption of skincare products.
How it Works
A licensed professional uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface. This manual exfoliation process leaves skin smoother and brighter.
Benefits
- Provides immediate smoothness and radiance
- Enhances the effectiveness of skincare products
- Creates a perfect canvas for flawless makeup application
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and dullness
Facials
At Texas Dermatology, our customized facial treatments cleanse, exfoliate and nourish the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion. Facials can be tailored to address specific concerns like acne, aging or dryness.
How it Works
Customized facials involve a series of cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating steps, often including masks and massages tailored to individual skin concerns like acne, dryness, or aging.
Benefits
- Deeply cleanses and detoxifies the skin
- Improves circulation for a healthy glow
- Hydrates and replenishes moisture
- Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
HydraFacial
This popular skin treatment is ideal for that extra glow and fresh, supple skin. A HydraFacial is a non-invasive, luxurious procedure combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection. It delivers immediate results with no downtime, improving skin tone and texture.
How it Works
A HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that uses a specialized machine to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin with customized serums. It combines gentle exfoliation with a vacuum-based extraction method.
Benefits
- Delivers instant hydration and radiance
- Reduces fine lines and uneven skin tone
- Minimizes enlarged pores and controls oil production
- Provides gentle exfoliation without irritation
Microneedling
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this rejuvenating treatment uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It’s effective for reducing scars, fine lines, and improving overall skin texture.
How it Works
A microneedling device safely delivers tiny injections into the skin, causing small injuries. This process triggers your skin’s natural healing process and begins to increase collagen production. The treatment is well-tolerated and most patients do not find it painful. Downtime is minimal with perhaps some redness and swelling that tends to subside within 1-2 days.
Benefits
- Reduces acne scars, fine lines, and stretch marks
- Improves skin texture and elasticity
- Enhances absorption of topical treatments
- Minimally invasive with short recovery time
RF Microneedling
Combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, this treatment enhances collagen production and tightens the skin. At Texas Dermatology Med Spa, we offer both Potenza and Exion RF microneedling devices. Using ultrafine needles to stimulate collagen production, these treatments effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity while enhancing overall skin texture with minimal downtime.
How it Works
RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. The RF energy promotes collagen remodeling, providing long-lasting, rejuvenating results.
Benefits
- Firms and tightens sagging skin
- Reduces deeper wrinkles and acne scars
- Stimulates collagen and elastin for long-term improvement
- Effective for skin laxity with minimal downtime
Skin Tightening (EmFace)
EmFace utilizes synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES™ energies to treat both skin and muscle layers, resulting in fewer wrinkles and a lifted appearance. It’s a non-invasive procedure suitable for facial rejuvenation.
Benefits
- Non-invasive facial lifting and toning
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Tightens skin and enhances muscle tone
- Provides a youthful, lifted appearance without surgery or injectables
FAQs
What Is The Recovery Time For Chemical Peels?
Recovery time varies based on the depth of the peel. Light peels typically have minimal downtime, with slight redness lasting a few hours to a day. Medium peels may require a few days to a week for peeling and redness to subside. Deep peels can involve more significant peeling and redness, requiring up to two weeks for full recovery.
Is Dermaplaning Safe For All Skin Types?
Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions should consult with a dermatologist to determine if it's appropriate for them.
How Often Should I Get A HydraFacial?
For optimal results, Texas Dermatology recommends getting a HydraFacial every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency helps maintain skin hydration, clarity, and overall health.
What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Address?
Microneedling effectively treats various concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother and firmer skin.
Are Microneedling & RF Microneedling Skin Treatments Painful?
RF microneedling treatments are generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation during treatment.
