Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatment options include a variety of nonsurgical techniques and cosmetic procedures that are done to correct fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and brown spots in order to restore the skin. They’re often done in combination, and the treatments your provider recommends will depend on several factors, including your skin type and concerns. 

“A patient’s lifestyle is taken into consideration too,” says Dr. Michele Green, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City. “Some patients may have the time to do a more aggressive treatment, whereas others may choose a procedure with less downtime, with the understanding that they may need more treatments over time to achieve their desired results.” 

Light chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, and the Vampire Facial are typically used to treat superficial damage, while IPL, laser resurfacing and medium-strength chemical peels tackle more moderate damage. Radiofrequency treatments like Thermage address sagging, and a liquid facelift can lift and smooth wrinkles. 

Severe sagging and deep wrinkles are usually best treated with surgical facelifts and neck lifts.
