Many people look in the mirror and wish for healthier, wrinkle-free and blemish-free skin. Maintaining a youthful glow, however, can be difficult because a number of factors contribute to facial wrinkling and skin damage. Everything from aging, sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise can have an effect on the appearance of your skin. They can lead to issues such as pigment changes, brown spots, wrinkles, or an overall dull look. Fortunately, skin resurfacing at our Michigan practice is a skin care treatment designed to address these cosmetic issues, helping patients look youthful and vibrant.

Laser and radio frequency technologies have revolutionized skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments. Laser skin resurfacing uses laser technology to specifically target and remove damaged areas of skin. This treatment removes the outer layer of skin, and simultaneously heats underlying skin, thereby fostering the growth of collagen. This new collagen growth not only reduces the appearance of wrinkles that are present, but helps prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Pigment changes such as blotchiness or brown spots, may also occur with age or as a result of birth control pills, pregnancy or genetic factors. Prior acne may have made the surface of your skin uneven. These problems, as well as certain other skin conditions, may be improved by skin resurfacing.

At Allure Medical Spa, we offer a variety of skin resurfacing technologies, each of which is designed to be used for specific skin types and conditions. Using the newest lasers and most advanced treatment techniques affords Drs. Mok and Kotlus the highest level of precision, especially in delicate areas. Patients of any age can undergo skin resurfacing treatment to enhance their appearance. You may have certain characteristics that make you a better candidate for one technique rather than another. A consultation will determine which procedure is best for you.

Fraxel DUAL or Fraxel re:store resurfacing treatments effectively target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin for a smoother, fresher, younger looking appearance. This treatment is indicated for:

• Improved tone and texture
• Reduced wrinkles
• Disappearance of brown spots
• Improved appearance of acne scars and surgical scars
• Effective treatment of pre-cancerous lesions (actinic keratosis)
• Excellent treatment for face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and back

eMatrix offers patients of all skin types a safe and effective solution in reversing multiple signs of aging. Unlike other treatments, which work from the outside-in, eMatrix works from the inside-out, initiating collagen production to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and textural irregularities.

eMatrix is a non-laser and non-light-based treatment that uses radio frequency technology to place heat energy into the skin where it can produce significant skin improvement, with minimal surface skin disruption. Some of the benefits of this treatment include minimal downtime, short treatment times, smoother skin appearance, and a dramatic improvement of texture and tone.

• Wrinkles
• Scars, including acne scars
• Textural irregularities
• Tone
• Superficial skin lesions

ActiveFX is a fractional laser that produces noticeable changes in a single treatment, while still remaining minimally-invasive. During the procedure, a high-energy laser is used to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, remove brown spots and pigmentation issues, and tighten the skin.

DeepFX uses fractional laser technology to treat aged, scarred, or sun-damaged skin. The procedure relies on fractional CO2 laser to specifically target the deep layers of the skin, encouraging healing and production of new skin and collagen. DeepFX is unique because it can target specific areas of skin, while leaving others completely untouched. This results in a much faster healing time. DeepFX targets the deeper layers of skin, causing only minor damage to the skin’s surface.
