These Top Skin Treatments Aren’t Just for Your Face
We offer amazing treatments that can address all the skin problems you have, and we don’t just mean on your face! Patients also visit us to improve the appearance of areas like their neck, back, or stomach, where issues like crepe-like skin, acne, stretch marks, and scars often mar the appearance of smooth skin. The good news is all of these issues can benefit from non-surgical skin treatments, no matter where they are on your body.
Here are 2 of our aesthetician’s favorite skin treatments to give our Plastic Surgery Services patients a glowing, smooth complexion from head to toe.
1. VI Peel for hyperpigmentation & acne throughout the body
Freckles, sun spots, scaly skin, age spots, and hyperpigmentation are common frustrations—especially in areas that are prone to sun damage, like the arms, hands, and chest.
With the VI Peel, we can achieve a significant improvement in ALL of these concerns, anywhere on the body. The VI Peel is commonly used (in addition to the face) in these areas:
- Décolletage
- Back
- Backs of hands
- Arms
- Legs
How treatment works: Chemical peels use skin-safe acids that gently dissolve the top layers of dull, dry skin, leaving skin softer and healthier and promoting healthy cell turnover. Many “resurfacing” lotions use small amounts of these acids to promote cell turnover, but a peel treatment is much more powerful—and the results of treatments simply can’t be matched with at-home skincare.
Use VI Peel in the décolletage, hands, arms, and back to erase sun spots and even the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
What you should know: Depending on the depth of your treatment, you will likely have little to no downtime. It will take up to 7 days after your chemical peel to see full results, as the outermost layers of your skin give way to fresh, bright skin.
2. Microneedling for smooth, blemish-free skin
The results of microneedling rival many laser skin treatments, but do not require any downtime. This procedure rejuvenates “dull” skin, universally improving its appearance and erasing blemishes of all kinds, making it the go-to choice for a myriad of skin issues that can affect the face or body.
How treatment works: Microneedling involves passing microscopic, hair-like needles over the skin to create very small micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny openings signal the body to treat the skin like a wound, “healing” the area with fresh new cells and revealing a smoother complexion. We may also include a topical product in your microneedling treatment to target your concern.
When it comes to the body, there are numerous surprising uses for microneedling to treat scarring, aging, and sun damage:
- Minimize acne scarring on the back and shoulders
- Reduce the appearance of scars, i.e. from accidents or surgery
- Smooth wrinkles and fine lines in the chest
- Minimize darks spot and hyperpigmentation
- Reducing the appearance of stretch marks on areas like the legs, chest, stomach, and buttocks
- Improve skin’s thickness and elasticity, i.e. in the stomach
- Revive crepe-like, aging skin
- Beautify the hands
What you should know: Depending on the results you want, you may need a series of about 3 to 6 microneedling treatments. Results improve gradually after treatment, as your body continues to rebuild collagen in the treatment area.
Combine microneedling + VI Peel for synergistic rejuvenation
Get the synergistic effects of two treatments by combining the VI Peel with microneedling. Used in the same area, the effects of each treatment enhance the other by treating your concerns through two different modalities.
