Page Background www.theconnectionsnj.com FALL SKIN REJUVENATION By: Rebecca Lu, MD, FAAD Mohs and Dermatologic Surgeon Now that summer has come and gone, it’s time to address all that sun damage from those days at the pool and down the shore! There are several in-office laser and light devices that rejuvenate the skin and even reverse some of the dam- aging effects caused by the sun’s harmful rays. 1. IPL Photofacial IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad band light device that targets brown spots, age spots, and red- ness. Certain models have adjustable filters to target specific skin problems, such as birthmarks, broken blood vessels, brown spots, and age spots, as well as leg veins, tattoos, and even hair removal. It feels like a warm snap and is asso- ciated with minimal downtime. This is a very effective option to improve brown spots on the face, chest, and hands, as well as improve the redness and broken blood vessels seen in rosacea. Like most procedures, it is typical to require multiple treatments to achieve a significant result. 2. Fractionated Resurfacing I offer the Fraxel DUAL, which is the premier device in fractionated non- ablative resurfacing lasers. Fraxel® is FDA-approved to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, brown spots, melasma, acne scarring, sur- gical scars, and even precancerous growths known as actinic ker- atoses. It works by creating micro- scopic columns in the skin to stim- ulate new collagen formation, which heals the skin from the inside out to soften wrinkles and fine lines, erase brown spots, improve skin tone and texture, and even do a little tightening. Most patients will experience several days of red- ness after the procedure, but it is very tolerable and can be covered with make up. The results can be very dramatic and long-lasting. 3. Clear + Brilliant® Clear + Brilliant® is a revolutionary gentle laser that improves skin tone, pigmentation, and the appearance of pores with little or no downtime. Because it is a gentle laser treatment, like a “laser facial,” it is perfect for those with busy lifestyles where downtime is not possible. My patients tell me they love the “glow” they get after a Clear + Brilliant treatment. It is great for younger patients and as a maintenance treatment after Frax- el. While this is a gentle treatment, it also stimulates new collagen for- mation so that the benefits can be long-lasting. Fortunately, with advances in tech- nology, there are many options to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage. However, even with daily sunscreen, it is still possible to sus- tain sun damage accumulated over time, so a “skin clean-up” is neces- sary every now and then for healthier, rejuvenated, younger- looking skin.
