Silk Peel for Large Pores, Dull Skin Tone?

Question

Ive had pretty clear skin growing up minus a pimple here and there. In the last 2-3 years my skin has gotten much worse. Ive gotten larger pores on my face and my skin looks very dull now. I am also beginning to get a few lines and darkness under my eyes and Ive tried a number of things to reverse all of this but haven’t found a solution yet. I would love to get my glowing, radiant, and flawless skin back. Is a silk peel treatment (or several treatments) right for me?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Hello! Yes, a Diamond glow facial will be perfect for getting your glowing, radiant skin. The Diamond Glow will exfoliate and infuse your skin with condition-specific serums to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. You can do a single session, but we do recommend a diamond glow every 4-6 weeks for best results.

A series of Dermalinfusion peels will definitely help you achieve more radiant skin.  Dermalinfusion peels will mechanically exfoliate, extract and infuse condition-specific serums into the skin to help reduce the appearance of large pores and provide radiant skin.  Dermalinfusion is acceptable for all skin types.  Volume loss, fine lines and wrinkles occur naturally with the aging process.  There are a number of options available to you for correcting these signs of aging, such as Botox, injectable fillers, platelet rich plasma and laser.  An in-person consultation would be required to go over all of the options that would be best for you.   Best of luck!

Without knowing as much about your skin as your dermatologist I can comment that SilkPeel is safe for all skin types when properly performed. The results are less dramatic than IPL, Fraxel and most chemical peels are even more effective. But these options are NOT appropriate for all skin types, so go with your dermatologist's recommendation.
