Thanks to the refinement of a number of dermatologic techniques, dull ski, open pores and pigmentation can be treated with a variety of safe, effective procedures that improve the appearance of a patient's skin and boost the patient's self-esteem.

Your doctor will design a combination of treatment approaches based upon type of pigmentation, medical history and the status of recent clinical studies.

The goals of treatment are to minimize the pigmentation & open pores, improve skin integrity and restore skin radiance to a younger and more youthful look.

Common treatments for managing dull skin are:

Non Ablative Laser Rejuvenation (NALR) treatment

The NALR treatment distributes laser energy as heat beneath the skin's layers without affecting the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis). The heat energy stimulates new cell growth which restores the skin integrity and reduces pigmentation and open pores.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment

The IPL treatment distributes light energy as heat beneath the skin's layers without affecting the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis). The wavelength and energy level is selected based on the skin type for selective weakening of the pigment cells (melanocytes). The IPL treatment also restore skin integrity.

DIODE laser treatment

The DIODE laser energy selectively destroys melanin found in the hair follicles, epidermis and dermis. Pigmentary conditions such as freckles, sun damage and age spots, especially over large areas (such as the forearm, chest, back, etc) respond very well to DIODE laser treatment.

Radio Frequency treatment

This technique uses radio frequency energy to heat beneath the skin's layers. The RF energy induces heat within the dermis and stimulates new collagen growth, reducing facial lines and wrinkles.

Spot 532 laser treatment

532 nm is an ideal wavelength to treat epidermal pigmentation such as freckles, solar lentiges, epidermal melasma, etc. The 532 nm laser energy selectively destroys melanin found in the epidermis.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a new method of managing dull skin by injecting minute amounts of pharmaceuticals very superficially into the skin. This procedure, somewhat similar to tattooing medications onto the skin, is almost painless and helps to rejuvenate the skin. Some of the medications (vitamins, anti oxidants, etc) used in mesotherapy have great anti aging effects on the skin.

Microdermabrasion (MDA)

MDA involves abrasion of the skin using a continuous flow of crystal. This stimulates new cell growth, reduces scar and restores skin integrity.

Botox Cosmetic & Collagen Fillers

Botox is injected in very tiny amounts into specific muscles to treat and improve facial lines, wrinkles and furrows associated with facial expression. It can also be used to reduce open pore and reshape the eye brow.

Dermal fillers involves injecting a filling substance under the skin. It is used to "plump up" or contour and correct wrinkles, furrows and hollows in the face.
