TREATMENT OPTIONS

Dr. Richland offers safe and effective treatment options to deliver your ideal complexion with consideration for every aspect of your care. Each treatment presents its own set of advantages to provide you with an optimal treatment experience every step of the way.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Resurfacing uses short pulses of light or continuous light to precisely remove the outer layers of skin without damaging surrounding tissues. CO2 Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective non-surgical methods for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and boosting the skin’s elasticity.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion uses a rotating device to effectively “sand” away damaged skin. Dermabrasion produces substantial improvements in virtually every area of your skin’s appearance and texture. It produces especially dramatic improvements in “smoker’s lines” or fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels, as their name implies, use various chemicals to strip away the outer layers of skin for subtle to extensive dermal repair. Your chemical peel can be customized through its ingredients, concentration, and strength for targeted treatment that suits your life. A variety of alpha-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid and TCA are most commonly used in chemical peels. The peel is applied in our office and left to sit for several minutes, causing controlled resurfacing to the outer skin layers and exfoliating dull, dead cells. Following your treatment, your skin will peel off to expose fresh, new skin beneath. TCA (or trichloroacetic acid) peels make up one category of chemical peels and come in a variety of concentrations and depths to accommodate every patient. TCA peels are considered medical-grade and can produce a dramatic improvement in your skin. However, they may involve a slightly longer recovery time than other peels.

Skin Resurfacing Recovery

Recovery will vary depending on the specific technique used, your body’s ability to heal, and other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Richland will explain the recovery process of each of your options.

Skin Resurfacing Results

While your skin will heal within a few weeks, you will realize the full results of your treatment after approximately three months. This will allow your skin time to heal and the benefits related to the increased collagen production to take effect. At this time, our Newport Beach skin resurfacing patients will realize smoother, brighter, fresher, and tighter skin.

Skin Resurfacing FAQs

Both laser and peels offer beautiful results with minimal risk of complications when performed by an experienced and reputable provider. Dependinging on your specific concerns, one treatment may be recommended over another. During your consultation, Dr. Richland will help you determine which treatment option best suits your needs.

To prevent infection and irritation, you will need to keep your skin clean and moist during the healing process. You may experience swelling, sloughing, scabs, or oozing that usually lasts one to two weeks. After your skin has healed, the new skin may be slightly pinker for the next few weeks or months. It is also important to protect your skin from sun exposure while it heals.

Risks associated with skin resurfacing include infection, acne flare-up, discoloration, scarring, or activation of an existing viral infection. You can minimize your risks by undergoing treatment from an experienced provider and disclosing your full medical history during the planning process.
