Skin Rejuvenation In Mishawaka
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
One of the most effective skin-rejuvenation procedures at our Mishawaka spa is performed with specialized lasers that “resurface” skin, stimulating cell turnover for a more youthful appearance.
As the skin ages, lines, wrinkles, spots and discoloration start showing up. This is when many adults consider routine laser skin-rejuvenation treatments.
While the ideal time to start a long-term skincare strategy is before you notice such imperfections, it’s never too late to see how technology can start turning back time.
Advances in cosmetic laser procedures have allowed The Centre, P.C. to create dramatic, lasting results for people with a wide variety of skin flaws and chronic issues.
At our Centre Yourself Medical Rejuvenation Spa in Mishawaka, we use the latest skin-resurfacing laser technology for clients from Elkhart, South Bend, and other areas of Indiana. While energy-based procedures such as laser treatments offer a number of advantages beyond microdermabrasion and chemical peels, it’s important to discuss your particular situation with a skincare professional to determine if laser resurfacing is right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Laser skin rejuvenation (often called resurfacing), uses a precise laser instrument to gently remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This concentrated process, only available in a professional medical office or spa, directs pulsating beams of laser light over irregular skin, gently peeling off old, dead layers.
This removal process allows new cells to form where timeworn layers were removed. As skin heals following a laser rejuvenation session it will start to appear healthier, tighter and younger looking.
Laser resurfacing can work for many aging adults and even younger people with specific skin conditions or concerns. However individuals with olive, brown or black skin may be at an increased risk for pigmentation changes during laser work. Additionally, candidates who are prone to scarring or keloid formation are also at a higher risk.
During your free skin health evaluation, a licensed medical spa staff member will discuss both the risks and benefits of laser resurfacing, and help identify your specific skincare needs and goals. If a laser procedure is not the best option for your skin type or condition, The Centre, P.C.'s Centre Yourself Medical Spa offers many other alternative skin-rejuvenation treatments that work successfully to produce smoother, tighter and suppler skin.
Laser resurfacing can be a highly effective treatment for reducing facial wrinkles and other skin irregularities including sunspots, blemishes and scars. The Centre, P.C.'s Centre Yourself Medical Spa regularly works with clients in Indiana who use consistent laser rejuvenation to help reduce the significance of acne marks, chicken pox scars, smile lines, forehead wrinkles, freckles, sunspots or noticeable blood vessels. Here are some ways lasers work to alleviate common skin complaints:
- Wrinkles: These stubborn signs of aging come in two forms: static and dynamic. Laser resurfacing can assist in lessening the appearance of wrinkles that do not change with facial movements (static), as well as expression lines or folds that deepen with facial movements (dynamic).
- Scarring: Whether you have retained scars from acne as a young adult, injury or another skin condition, raised, pitted or discolored scars are a common problem that our cosmetic professionals can treat with laser resurfacing.
- Discoloration: As we age, skin pigment can shift in color and start to appear uneven and splotchy. Regularly scheduled laser skin resurfacing treatments may help balance the look of variable facial skin by targeting freckles, sun spots and other age-related dark patches.
- Skin tone: Over time everyone's skin weakens as structural elements like collagen and elastin fibers that used to support skin break down. Laser resurfacing can also work to rebuild fresh layers of glowing skin in areas where the face has lost firmness.
- Vascular conditions: Sometimes blood vessels are prominently visible on the surface of the face, appearing as microscopic blood-blister bumps or as a red, "flushed" look. Ask our experts how laser skin resurfacing can alleviate symptoms of different vascular conditions.
However it is not necessary to have a specific skin condition in order to schedule a complimentary skin health consultation at Centre Yourself Medical Rejuvenation Spa. Laser resurfacing can create a fresher, more even and youthful look—no matter what skin you're in.
While most people tend to tolerate outpatient laser skin resurfacing well, there is always the possibility of minor side effects following the procedure. It’s important to be aware of risks before you schedule a laser procedure.
For up to two weeks following a laser rejuvenation procedure at The Centre, P.C., patients may notice a slightly pink or red tone to the skin as new layers continue to form where old ones were stripped away. This is typically a sign of healthy healing and rejuvenation rather than a cause for concern.
However, as with any medical procedure, laser skin resurfacing does carry some risk. The highly trained staff at Centre Yourself Medical Rejuvenation Spa is skilled in reviewing these possibilities with people before a procedure, as well as monitoring patients for any uncommon side effects after a procedure. Although rare, these may include infection, burns, scarring, pigmentation irregularity or changes to skin texture.
We will be with you every step of the way, and should you have any concerns before, during, or after laser skin resurfacing treatments at The Centre, P.C., please know we are armed with knowledge and here to help.
In-spa laser resurfacing procedures are known for their efficiency, results and limited downtime. Depending on each patient’s specific skincare needs and the type of laser used, a resurfacing procedure can range from 30-90 minutes for spot or follow-up treatments to 90-120 minutes for an initial full-face procedure.
Laser skin resurfacing results vary, like most cosmetic medical procedures, depending on each client’s skin type, age and general health. However you will be well informed about the kinds of results you can expect immediately following a laser procedure, as well as the rewards that come for weeks after as cells turn over and skin rebuilds following laser resurfacing.
The Centre, P.C. ‘s Centre Yourself Skin Care Specialists will also remind you about possible side effects to watch for or be concerned about, and will instruct you on choosing the best topical skincare products to apply after your procedure to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
