Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a non-invasive way to rejuvenate your skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing the outer layers to peel away, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin underneath. They can improve a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. We offer a range of chemical peels, from light peels for a gentle refresh to deeper peels for more dramatic results. Our aesthetician will recommend the best peel for your specific skin type and goals.
What types of chemical peels do we offer?
We offer a variety of chemical peels, including glycolic acid peels, salicylic acid peels, and TCA peels, each designed to target specific skin concerns. Glycolic peels are excellent for improving skin texture and reducing fine lines, while salicylic peels are ideal for acne-prone skin. TCA peels provide a deeper exfoliation and are effective for treating more advanced signs of aging and sun damage.
What should you expect during the peeling process
During a chemical peel, you may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation. The peeling process typically begins a few days after the treatment and can last for several days, depending on the depth of the peel. Our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
What is the downtime associated with the different peels?
Light peels typically require little to no downtime, while deeper peels may require several days of recovery. We will discuss the expected downtime with you during your consultation.
What are the benefits of chemical peels?
Benefits of chemical peels include improved skin texture and tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminished sun damage and age spots, and clearer, brighter complexion.
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen and elastin production. A specialized device with tiny needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and overall skin texture and tone.
What are the benefits of microneedling compared to other treatments?
Microneedling offers several advantages over other skin rejuvenation treatments, including minimal downtime, a lower risk of hyperpigmentation, and its effectiveness on a wide range of skin concerns.
What should you expect from the procedure?
During the microneedling procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then gently passed over the skin, creating tiny micro-channels. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes.
What are the recommended number of treatments?
For optimal results, a series of 3-6 microneedling treatments is typically recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
What downtime is associated with microneedling?
Downtime after microneedling is minimal, with most patients experiencing only mild redness and swelling for a few days.
Scarlet SRF Microneedling: The Next Generation of Skin Rejuvenation
Central Lakes Medical is proud to offer the cutting-edge Scarlet SRF microneedling system, a revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional microneedling, Scarlet SRF combines the benefits of microneedling with radio-frequency (RF) energy to deliver superior and more noticeable results.
How it Works:
The Scarlet SRF device uses tiny microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and boosting collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, it delivers RF energy deep into the dermal layers, further enhancing collagen remodeling and skin tightening. This dual action results in a synergistic effect, leading to significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Benefits of Scarlet SRF Microneedling:
- Enhanced Collagen Production: The combination of microneedling and RF energy stimulates significantly more collagen production than microneedling alone.
- Skin Tightening: The RF energy tightens existing collagen fibers and promotes the formation of new collagen, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
- Improved Skin Texture: Scarlet SRF can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
- Reduced Pore Size: The treatment can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Minimal Downtime: While some redness and swelling are expected, downtime is typically minimal, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly.
- Safe and Effective: Scarlet SRF is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns, suitable for most skin types.
What to Expect:
During your Scarlet SRF treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to minimize discomfort. The Scarlet SRF device will then be gently passed over the treatment area. You may experience a mild warming sensation during the RF energy delivery. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Benefits of Scarlet SRF Microneedling:
You can expect to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks of your Scarlet SRF treatment. Optimal results are typically achieved after a series of treatments, which we will discuss with you during your consultation.
If you’re looking for a highly effective and minimally invasive way to rejuvenate your skin, schedule a consultation with our aesthetic team to learn more about Scarlet SRF microneedling. We’ll assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.
