What is skin rejuvenation?

Skin rejuvenation aims to make your skin look brighter, tighter, and more youthful by removing dead or damaged skin and promoting the growth of fresh, healthy skin in its place. If you have noticed the signs of age diminishing your beauty, skin rejuvenation can mitigate problems like:

• Sun spots or age spots
• Acne scars
• Unwanted freckles
• Deep wrinkles
• Fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth or eyes
• Wrinkles on the cheeks
• Rough skin texture

Seeking the care of a skilled dermatologist like Dr. Onwudiwe ensures that you get the most effective care delivered in the safest possible way.

How does skin rejuvenation work?

Skin rejuvenation uses laser energy to carefully target areas of dull skin. The laser passes slowly over these areas, activating your skin’s healing response and revitalizing your beauty from below the surface. Because it works with your natural system, skin rejuvenation can produce lovely results without damaging the surrounding skin.

What can I expect from my skin rejuvenation treatment?

Plan for your visit to last 30-60 minutes, depending on your skin’s particular needs.

Before your treatment, Dr. Onwudiwe gently cleans your skin and applies a cooling cream to ensure you are comfortable throughout. After the laser has done its work on the treatment areas, you can return to your daily routine. You may have a little redness or swelling, but this should subside quickly.

Usually, three to six visits, with a month between each, is sufficient to produce ideal results, but Dr. Onwudiwe will adapt your plan to include more or fewer visits as needed. The results are also exceptionally long-lasting: You can expect your smoother, brighter skin to last between three and five years.

How can I make my skin rejuvenation treatment last even longer?

By making some simple adjustments to your lifestyle, you can take great care of your skin and complement your rejuvenation nicely. While you don’t have to stay out of the sun completely, wearing sunscreen (even on cloudy days) can protect your skin from damage and dehydration.

Along those same lines, staying hydrated, reducing stress, getting regular exercise, and eating a healthy diet can all contribute to skin that glows from the inside out.
