Skin Treatments
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin from acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, blemishes, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores, and blackheads.
Microdermabrasion removes the surface layer of the skin without the use of chemicals, lasers, or acids. The procedure utilizes a device called a crystal microdermabrader which is a wand that attaches to the skin with suction and gently removes the surface layers of the skin. This process unblocks pores, removes dead skin cells, and stimulates circulation.
After testing multiple types of microdermabrasion methods, Kaplan Cosmetic Surgery Centers are proud to offer the EuroPeel system. EuroPeel is a safe, non-surgical, comprehensive, progressive approach to skin care that has been used in Europe for over 10 years. With clearance from the FDA, this exciting procedure is helping patients throughout the United States experience immediate improvement in their skin's appearance.
EuroPeel enhances skin condition and offers what no other available treatment can in combating the signs of aging and sun-damaged skin. EuroPeel skin treatments exfoliate the skin in much the same fashion as a pumice stone or loofah sponge, using a mechanical process. The process utilizes a patented system incorporating a vacuum hand piece with an interlink tubing. Gliding the hand piece over the treatment area provokes a superficial skin polishing in as little as twenty minutes. This gentle, abrasive technique efficiently produces results using a refreshing, non-surgical procedure. Treatments are generally applied utilizing a course of weekly or monthly sessions. EuroPeels are not aggressive. They are progressive and slow. Patients may need from 2 to 12 treatments depending on the areas treated.
Depending on the areas treated, you will notice immediate improvements in your skin's appearance. After the first treatment, most skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvements continue throughout the treatment cycle.
Most patients report that their skin seems to be softer, smoother, and younger looking.
Acne Treatment
Acne is a disorder of the skin's sebaceous glands that results in plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions. As one of the most common skin diseases, over 80% of the population aged 14-30 will suffer from it regardless of gender, geography, or skin type. Approximately 25% will have permanent scarring as a result. Though commonly considered as a teenager problem and usually beginning in adolescence, 20% of all adults suffer from varying degrees of active acne. For some, it is simply annoying. For many others, acne is a significant problem that has a high impact on their lifestyle and quality of life.
Each year, approximately $5 billion is spent on acne treatment, most of it on medication. However many of these acne medications ranging from over-the-counter, to prescription, are expensive and may cause significant side effects. They require several months of continuous treatment and many patients do not respond to them, or witness only limited effect.
Now, fighting acne is no longer a loosing battle. Dr. Kaplan proudly offers Radiancy’s new generation of acne treatment systems using the unique LHE technology. Treatment effectively clears inflammatory acne lesions in just 1/3 the time it takes for standard topical and oral treatments to do the same.
Approximately eight treatments over a four week period is all it takes to get back on the road to dramatically clearer, smoother, acne-free skin. For more severe cases a special acid is applied to the face for 45 minutes prior to the light treatment for even greater, more rapid effect. There are no adverse side effects, discomfort, patient downtime, or exposure to antibiotics.
Radiancy’s LHE Acne Clearance is nothing but benefits:
- Safe and reliable – Safe acne clearance with no pain or downtime.
- Visible – results are visible shortly after starting treatment, with clearance reaching close to 90% on average.
- Quick treatment time – just 10 minutes for a full facial treatment.
- Faster than any other treatment – total treatment time is 1/3 the time of medication therapy.
- Benefits continue to increase for several months after the treatment is completed.
