Will I peel after receiving a Rejuvenize Peel™ treatment?

The degree of peeling may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and degree of the damage. Peeling can range from mild flaking to peeling in sheets. Regardless of the amount of peeling, the skin is still sloughing off at an accelerated rate, which will result in the following benefits: improvement in the appearance of skin tone and texture, smoothness of fine lines and wrinkles.

PiXel8-RF Microneedling

Jonathan Montoya — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 17:25:57 +0000

The PiXel8-RF system facilitates non-surgical skin tightening using bi-polar RF energy and minimally invasive microneedles to drive heat deep within the patient’s skin layers. The heat stimulates and remodels collagen and prompts the elastin cells to regenerate. The treatment requires little to no downtime and results in a skin surface that is firmer, smoother, and more even.THE PIXEL8-RF BENEFITS The PiXel8-RF system has an optimal amount of space between the microneedles. As a result, the RF energy will be uniformly distributed throughout the target area and will evenly coagulate without the risk of interference caused by nearby, overlapping RF energy.

Microneedling

Jonathan Montoya — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 17:25:56 +0000

Microneedling is all about stimulating collagen production by using the body’s natural healing process in response to tissue injury. Our ability to produce new collagen decreases over time, and microneedling can help. The procedure involves using a specific tool with fine hair-like needles to create tiny pinpricks in the surface of the skin. These “micro-injuries” cause the body to create new healthy collagen to repair the pinpricks. Benefits of microneedling include improved skin texture, less visibility of pores, reduction in fine lines, increased glow and for some patients even reduction in unwanted pigmentation or melasma. Microneedling “bridges the gap” between microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing. For patients wanting real results with little to no risk or downtime, this is the procedure for you!
