Skin Resurfacing, (Obagi® and Botox®)

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Florida is known as the "sunshine state".  Its residents and visitors definitely enjoy all that sun, but the downside is the effect it has on their skin.  Sun exposure damages skin decreasing its vitality, increasing discoloration and speeds up the process of wrinkling. Similar changes occur with age. 

Facial skin is particularly susceptible to these changes.  Fine lines and wrinkles develop first in areas where we are most animated.  The "crow's feet" around the eyes, "laugh lines" around the mouth, and "frown lines" in the forehead all make us look older.   Brown spots can pop up anywhere but are most often found in the cheeks.  

The cosmetic surgeons at South Florida Plastic Surgery are helping patients in Naples, Fort Myers and all over southwest Florida treat their aging and sun-damaged skin with skin resurfacing.  A variety of techniques are available, and at South Florida Plastic surgery we tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each patient.

The simplest skin resurfacing can be done with superficial peels and microdermabrasion.  These techniques treat the very top layer of skin.  Down time is minimal, and they  leave the skin with a nice sheen.  More aggressive peels such as the TCA and Phenol peels are designed to treat the deeper layers of the skin. These require more recovery time, but can help smooth wrinkles, lighten brown spots, and tighten loose skin.  

Laser technology has revolutionized skin resurfacing.  At South Florida Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer laser skin resurfacing with the Sciton laser.  This amazing machine allows us to adjust the amount of energy and wavelength of the laser with which the skin is treated. The result is we can be even more precise in treating the specific needs of each patient. 

With all the sunshine in Naples, Fort Myers and all of southwest Florida, sun damaged skin is epidemic.  The cosmetic surgeons at Southwest Florida Plastic Surgery can help you reverse the harmful effects of the sun and aging.  Call now for a skin resurfacing  consultation to find which technique best suits you.
