Some patients come into the office with complaints about their skin. From acne to aging, sun-damaged skin, Bellaire Dermatology Associates' Center for Cosmetic Dermatology offers two commonly considered spa treatments for our patients: microdermabrasion and chemical peels. These two popular treatments can help address a variety of skin issues, as well as offer immediate results at a reasonable cost for patients of all ages and skin types.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation technique. The procedure reveals a fresh new layer of skin and can treat lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun-damage, and age spots. You will be able to see an immediate improvement in your appearance and notice rejuvenated skin. The procedure is completely painless and requires no recovery time. Microdermabrasion is best used to treat acne, blackheads and whiteheads, and is highly recommended for those who are looking for a treatment that will not require recovery time, which makes them perfect for mid-day treatments.
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. The resurfacing technique reduces the appearance of blemishes, wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin color, melasma, and acne scarring. Additionally, it may also remove pre-cancerous skin growths. Chemical peels are non-invasive and usually require minimal recovery time. They are best for patients who are dealing with acne and acne scarring, aging skin, blackheads and whiteheads, melasma, and extensive sun damage.
The best way to determine the best treatment for your skin is by scheduling a consultation appointment with the Bellaire Dermatology Associates' Cosmetic Department. Dr. Teller and his team will be able to complete a full examination of your face to give you a recommendation in terms of the spa service that can benefit your skin the most.
