Facial Resurfacing

Facial Resurfacing Treatments

For the last forty years, facial resurfacing treatments have become more and more popular as we attempt to reduce wrinkles produced by sun damage and aging. When skin has been damaged to the extent that topical creams; exfoliating treatments, such as microdermabrasion; and mild chemical peels are of little benefit, more aggressive measures are necessary to mitigate the damage and restore a more youthful appearance. The modalities used at QnA Cosmetic Surgery for facial resurfacing fall into two basic groups: chemical peels using TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and Co2 laser resurfacing (fully ablative and fractional).

A Profound and Positive Result

There are varied facial resurfacing techniques, and which one is best for a particular person depends upon the amount of wrinkling and sun damage present and the level of post-procedure inflammation and downtime acceptable. Generally speaking, a more aggressive Fully Ablative Co2 Resurfacing requiring more inflammation and downtime will yield better results after one session than a milder method, such as Fractional Co2. In other words, the more the insult, the more reaction, and therefore the more profound and positive will be the result.

That being said, Fractional Co2 can prove to be just as effective as Fully Ablative Co2 for patients who are dedicated to yielding to a series of treatments. The benefit to this would be a decrease in downtime, allowing for the patient to jump back into daily life quicker than someone receiving Fully Ablative Co2.

EXO-E

EXO-E Skin Revitalizing Complex is a plant stem cell technology (exosomes) that is used to boost the results of various skincare treatments. By using the biofriendly three step system, patients will notice a decrease in overall inflammation and skin congestion before, during, and after their procedure. This will allow for less downtime as well as an increase in collagen production and hyaluronic acid levels in the skin.

“First time in this clinic and won't be the last! From the initial phone call through the exam and treatment, everyone on staff was attentive, making me feel very comfortable, answering all of my questions. Dr. Falon and her assistant were both wonderful. They spent all the time I needed to answer all of my questions and discuss not only the treatment I was about to receive, but also questions concerning my current skin care and cosmetic regime. I can't wait to see the results of the treatment and recommendations for my new clearer and younger appearance! Dr. Falon encouraged bringing in what I'm using to see how to best use it or maybe try a few new products or no new products. I don't feel at all that she will try to push products on me. Everyone in this clinic is very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Q&A Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa!”
