had plasma pen treatment 2 months ago and my skin looks terrible. I have enlarged pores, texture issues, sagging skin around eyes. Feels like a layer of dry skin just sitting on top of my face. I can’t wear makeup as it settles in enlarged pores and cakes up where the skin is extra dry. The skin around my eyes especially makes me look 10 years older (I’m 42). Are there any exfoliating/tightening treatments for whole face, especially eye area?
Answer: Multiple treatments such as Morpheus8, Clear&Brilliant, Melapeel, and LaseMD can all help improve skins appearance. Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Answer: Hydrafacial is Great! Hi thank you for your question. There are different types of treatments you can do for exfoliation and tightening of the skin. Hydrafacial is great for dry and textured skin. It will help remove the upper layer of dead skin making it feel smoother. For the delicate eye area try Eye Perk to hydrate and rejuvenate. As far as skin tightening Forma is a great radio frequency device that will lift and sculpt the face. It will take several treatments of forma to retain the tightening affect.

Answer: Exfoliation and Tightening Treatments Hi and thank you for your question and pictures. There are a number of treatments that you can consider: For enlarged pores and to improve skin texture, probably the best options is Fractional CO2 laser treatment. Microneedling can also help although it is generally not as effective as CO2 laser. CO2 laser might also help a bit with skin tightening, but for best results, you might want to look into Ultherapy for that. Exfoliating treatments such as HydraFacial can always help by bringing out the youthful skin and they are recommended as part of routine skin maintenance, but they might not help as much as the other treatments I mentioned for your specific concerns. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Treatments for enlarged pores, texture and elasticity issues... Yes, there is something that can be done for the treatment of enlarged pores, texture and elasticity issues. First I would recommend a Hydrafacial series to remove that feeling of "a layer of dry skin" on top of the face so that creams will penetrate deeper and feel better on your skin. It will also help with makeup application as the layer of skin is removed and the skin is more hydrated leaving a much better surface for your skin care routine and make up application. Hydrafacial will help with texture and some elasticity issues. I would recommend a booster with the Hydrafacial, one with hyaluronic acid and retinol in it. Furthermore, I would recommend a new laser called AviClear to help reduce your pore size. This is an off label use! as AviClear is FDA cleared for acne treatment, however, we have seen improvement in acne scaring, reduction in pore size and tightening in the skin with AviClear due to the target tissue. Its really exciting news and results!
